Jockey Sheldon Russell will ride one horse Saturday at Laurel and may ride three Sunday as he eases into his return to racing.

West Virginia Breeders Classics XXX will see purses boosted for most of its races, an overall $90,000 increase versus 2015.

The preview day for the 2016 Claiming Crown will take place November 6 at Laurel Park and offer automatic entry to all nine Claiming Crown races.
