Churchill Downs begins its 24-day fall meeting on Sunday, October 25 with its “Stars of Tomorrow I” program–a card devoted exclusively to two-year-old racing.

Sunday’s 11-race program for the juveniles features a pair of 8.5-furlong stakes races–the $98,000 Rags to Riches Stakes, for two-year-old fillies, and the $98,000 Street Sense Stakes for two-year-olds.

In the Street Sense Stakes, Erv Woolsey and Keith Asmussen’s Super Stock is the prohibitive 8-5 morning line favorite in a compact field of six entrants. Jockey Ricardo Santana, Jr. has the call on the bay son of Dialed In for Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen.

Kueber Racing, LLC’s Coach, who is a perfect two-for-two at Indiana Grand, is the 3-1 choice on the morning line in the Rags to Riches Stakes, which attracted a field of nine entrants. Jockey Florent Geroux will be astride the daughter of Commissioner for trainer Brad Cox.
