RACE 1
| 6. Double Spirit | Willing try chasing odds-on winner in debut, despite getting forced out into center of the track when rival missed the turn |
| 4. Itzayana | Broke a beat slow in debut outing but ran on willingly |
| 2. Sherunsthistown | Half-sis to a graded stakes winner; barn has been in the money with five of six first-time starters |
RACE 2
| 3. Kapadokya | Should be a forward factor from the jump; makes first start in Farrior barn (28% off the switch) |
| 5. Whiskey Wild | Flashed early talent, but last three aren’t great |
| 6. My Sister Clurrie | Makes third start off the bench and fits with these |
RACE 3
| 8. Seattle Prince | Has kept better company, and best is good enough; you’ll need value, though, as trainer Craig is 0-for-22 off similar layoffs |
| 4. Christopher’sheart | First off the claim for Hanagan (14%) |
| 5. Shiney Ghost | Third start off the bench |
RACE 4
| 8. Shoot the Breeze | Easily handled two-life company in latest when dropped into claiming ranks; should be perched off the speed today |
| 2. Greatandgood | Didn’t miss by much versus better last out |
| 7. My Buddy Duane | Well clear of the rest when beaten favorite and arrives in good form (three straight in the exacta) |
RACE 5
| 8. Tangerineginger | Lightly raced filly makes first try for trainer Reynolds and gets blinkers on |
| 2. Love the Sauce | First-timer looms a presence in this middling field, but expected short odds might be tough to stomach |
| 5. Saint Devereaux | Showed good early foot versus better in first dirt try back in August |
RACE 6
| 10. P Money | Earned third win in latest in first try in the Farrior barn; two of three to run back won their follow-ups |
| 5. Irish Warlock | Speedy sort may have company up front with early foot of Mr. Mox also here, but this one will be tough to reel in if he can clear; was cooked in a speed duel in latest, with top four finishers having been sixth or worse after a quarter-mile |
| 2. Restless | Has won two straight by a combined 17-plus lengths |

RACE 7 – Randy Funkhouser Memorial Stakes
| 9. Runaldo | WVBC Sam Huff Classic winner should get a pace to run at here, and a repeat of latest wins |
| 5. No Change | Two-time Onion Juice winner proved three-turn bonafides when winning this contest a year ago |
| 7. Muad’dib | A win here would put this 7yo over $1 million in career earnings |
RACE 8
| 8. Fortunate Son | First-timer is a half to two stakes-placed runners, one of whom won at first asking; sire Golden Lad wins with 11% of firsters |
| 10. Big Bad Brass | Didn’t miss by much two back and makes second start off the bench while being reunited with rider Bocachica |
| 3. Big Joe B | Has run some OK races going one turn but doesn’t have that sort of early foot; added ground a plus |
