Lexington, KY — With 12 dropping in the entry box Thursday morning, the draw for the $450,000 Kentucky Futurity was conducted during the Thursday (Oct. 3) card at The Red Mile. The race will be contested on Sunday (Oct. 6) at the Lexington oval.

Eliminations will not be necessary and the race will be one dash for the cash.

Off a 1:49.4 mile under wraps in his Bluegrass division, Greenshoe fronts the field of 12. The Father Patrick colt recently surpassed $1 million in earnings for owners Courant Inc., Hans Backe, Lars Granqvist and Morten Langli. He leads a Marcus Melander three-horse entry into the 127th renewal of the trotting triple crown classic with stablemates Gimpanzee and Green Manalishi S also entering.

The draw for the 54th Kentucky Filly Futurity was also conducted. A total of 11 fillies dropped into the box with Hambletonian Oaks winner When Dovescry back to rematch Millies Posession. Again, eliminations will not be necessary and the race will be one dash.
