Hillwood Stable’s 7-year-old Cordmaker, unraced since becoming a graded-stakes winner in the Feb. 19 General George (G3) at Laurel, is entered to launch his comeback in Friday’s featured Race 8, a one-mile optional claiming allowance for 3-year-olds and up.

Trained by Rodney Jenkins, the gelded Maryland-bred son of two-time Horse of the Year and 2014 Hall of Famer Curlin was entered in the $150,000 Maryland Million Classic Oct. 22 but did not draw into the field. Cordmaker has won four straight races to bring his total to 14 wins, 10 in stakes, and $989,640 in purse earnings from 36 career starts.

Richard Monterrey, subbing for injured regular rider Victor Carrasco, gets the call from Post 7 in a field of nine as the 7-5 program favorite.

Also entered are The Poser, third in the Maryland Million Classic for a second straight year; multiple stakes winner Local Motive, 0-for-4 since taking the one-mile Miracle Wood Feb. 19 at Laurel; multiple stakes-placed Plot the Dots, racing first off the claim for trainer Norman ‘Lynn’ Cash; American d’Oro, a 9 ¼-length winner last out going 1 1/8 miles Oct. 13 at Laurel; Famished, most recently fourth in Laurel’s Oct. 1 Challedon; Treasure Trove and the entry of Benandjoe and Excellorator.

One race earlier is an open allowance for 3-year-olds and up scheduled for 1 1/16 miles on the Bowl Game turf course led by narrow 3-1 morning-line favorite Crisper, third two starts back behind four-time stakes winner Buy Land and See in the Alphabet Soup Handicap at Parx, and including Beltway Bob, 12-1 upset winner of the Maryland Million Turf Starter Handicap.

Both races are part of the sequence for the Rainbow 6 (Races 4-9), where the jackpot carryover reached $16,775.39 after going unsolved on the last live program Sunday.
