Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 - 6 furlongs, Purse $48,400, Claiming $50,000, 3-year-olds and up

4 Carbonite - Mike Mitchell rarely loses these days; class drop should be enough to find the winner's circle.

2 Position A - Dull try in last on turf and first off the claim; return to synthetics can wake him up.

Long Shot - 5 Buyer's Remorse

Race 2 - 5 furlongs, Purse $29,700, Maiden claiming $40,000, 2-year-olds

3 Inquisitive - FTS from Barry Abrams in a race full of slowpokes; watch the tote board for clues.

6 Warren's Diggers - Tepid chalk in a real moribund field; took some betting when 5/1 in career debut.

Long Shot - 1 Ancient Coin

Race 3 - 6 furlongs (turf), Purse $55,000, Claiming $62,500, 3-year-olds

3 Luckarack - Clear win last out for Jeff Mullins; his barn is heating up and none too soon.

1 Diamond Geezah - Was overmatched in stakes first off the claim by Ted West; best races came down the hillside course.

Race 4 - 7 furlongs, Purse $25,300, Maiden claiming $30,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

7 Zees Chris - 7-of-9 in the money finishes so far; like the turn back in distance and Rafael Bejarano stays.

Long Shot - 9 Running Isabella

Race 5 - 1 mile (turf), Purse $27,500, Claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

9 Hughesy - Tepid chalk in a wide-open affair; big rider switch to Joel Rosario for the money shot.

Race 6 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $57,200, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

6 American Lady - Lost to a talented filly in Rumor last out; was 8 lengths clear of third, tough to beat tonight.
