4 Stakes On Saturday’s Opening Day Program
Kentucky Downs kicks off its brief, albeit lucrative, five-day meeting on Saturday, September 1–Labor Day weekend– in Franklin, Ky. with a 10-race, all turf program.
The card is highlighted by four stakes races–the $250,000 One Dreamer Stakes, the $750,000 Tourist Mile, the $400,000 Kentucky Downs Juvenile Stakes, and the $400,000 Exacta Systems Juvenile Fillies Stakes.
Flurry Racing Stable’s Mr. Misunderstood is the 2-1 morning line favorite in the day’s feature–the Tourist Mile. Jockey Florent Geroux has the call for trainer Brad Cox.
Leparoux, Maker, Ramsey’s Back To Defend Titles
Ken and Sarah Ramsey–Kentucky Downs’ all-time leading owner by wins–will try to annex their seventh consecutive owner’s title and ninth overall at the track.
Additionally, Jockey Julien Leparoux, last year’s leading rider at the meet with six wins, and Mike Maker, the leading trainer for the past three years, will both be back to defend their respective titles in 2018.
$10 Million In Purses Up For Grabs At Meet
