Ellis Park Full-Card Analysis: Friday, July 7, 2017
Live racing resumes at Ellis Park off a two-day respite on Friday, July 7 with an eight-race program in the offing highlighted by a competitive $15,000 optional claiming/$10,000 starter allowance affair in the second race, and a contentious $40,000 maiden allowance contest on the turf for two-year-old fillies in the featured seventh race on the card.
The Green Sheet gave out three winners on Tuesday’s nine-race Fourth of July program in Henderson in addition to a cold $63 late Pick 3.
