Saturday’s Fall Festival of Racing Features Seven Stakes Worth $900,000 from Laurel site
Laurel Park serves up a 12-race Fall Festival of Racing program Saturday featuring seven stakes, six over its world-class turf course, worth $900,000 in purses highlighted by the 26th running of the $250,000 Xpressbet Frank J. De Francis Memorial Dash (G3).
The six-furlong De Francis for 3-year-olds and up is carded as the ninth race with a post time of 5:10 p.m. It is part of both the 20-cent Rainbow 6 (Races 7-12) and 50-cent Late Pick 5 (Races 8-12), offering an industry-low 12 percent takeout.
Also on Saturday’s stakes-filled program are the $100,000 Selima (Race 3), $100,000 Fidelity First and Blackwell Real Estate Laurel Dash (Race 5), $150,000 All Along (Race 6), $100,000 Sensible Lady Turf Dash (Race 7), $100,000 Laurel Turf Cup (Race 8) and $100,000 Laurel Futurity (Race 10).
First race post time is 1:10 p.m.
Fans who purchase a live racing program will also have an opportunity to spin a prize wheel and win wagers, event tickets, Laurel Park swag bags and more. The wheel is located on the first floor clubhouse.
Notes: Jockeys Alex Cintron and Forest Boyce each had a riding double Friday. Cintron was first aboard Kitty’s Right ($5.60) in the sixth race and Dynamic Asset ($15.80) in the seventh, while Boyce won on In the Lee ($3.80) in the ninth and Crabcakes ($2.80) in the 10th. Trainer Gary Capuano saddled back-to-back winners with Lucky in Malibu ($6) in the fourth and Bronx Sandman ($9) in the fifth.
