Pacing colts and geldings will be the first to go postward in the evening’s third race, which starts the early Pick-4. A showdown between Leonard Hubbard’s Leonard’s Legacy (9-5, Jonathan Roberts) and Henry Faragalli III, Nanticoke Racing, Arthur Feeney and Daniel Doane’s American Nitro (8-5, Victor Kirby) is expected after both swept their preliminaries impressively. Leonard’s Legacy is a Tobago Cays colt trained by Nick Callahan, while Les Givens trains the Badlands Nitro gelding, American Nitro.

Trotting fillies are next in the fourth race, as Ed Kimmel and Don Wiest’s Orabelle (7-5, Tony Morgan) aims for a third straight victory. The Keystone Activator filly won both of her preliminaries for trainer Wiest. Mark King’s Dabigspooky Bootah (9-1, Kirby) is one of two other preliminary winners in the group. The He’s Spooky filly was victorious last week for trainer-owner King. Linda MacDonald’s Stella A (3-1, Ross Wolfenden) had a win and third in her preliminaries for trainer Joe MacDonald. The Anders Bluestone filly is making her third career start.

The eighth race will feature trotting colts and geldings, as dual-preliminary winners Touch Of White (8-5, Corey Callahan) and Rod Allen’s Zulu (3-1, Allen) will square off. Touch Of White is owned by Breakaway Racing and is sired by Keystone Activator, while Zulu is a CR Commando gelding trained and driven by owner Allen.

Pacing fillies will go to the gate in the 10th race, as Givens trainee Bag Of Jewels (7-5, Victor Kirby) aims for a third straight victory for owners Faragalli, Feeney, Bay Pond Racing and Bonucelli Racing. The Roddy’s Bags Again filly comfortably won her preliminaries and is the only filly in the field with three career wins. Owner-trainer Brenda Teague’s She’s Got The Lynx (7-2, Montrell Teague), sired by Southwind Lynx, and Legacy Racing of Delaware’s Cinder Rock (3-1, Allan Davis), a daughter of Rockabillie trained by Wayne Givens, each won preliminary events and will look to upend the thwart Bag Of Jewels’ bid for a series sweep.

The 15-race program starts at 4:30 p.m., and also features three $15,000 consolation events as well as a $20,000 Open Trot.
