Sam McKee Memorial FFA Pace with a full field of 12 going the route distance of 1-1/8 miles (only stake at the added distance on the day) featuring Lather Up who became the co-fastest horse in Standardbred history by virtue of his 1:46 clocking for a mile in the July 10 Graduate final. The FFA Mare Lady Liberty brings out Shartin N who has had her way with the girls all season and currently sits atop the weekly Top Ten poll among the ten distaffers entered.

The $300,000 (est.) John Cashman Memorial FFA Trot fields 10 top trotters with Guardian Angel AS coming in from his Spirit of Massachusetts triumph and the streaking Eurobond facing stakes caliber off his record equaling 1:50.2 last week. The $175,000 Dr. John Steele also has ten to go led by the inimitable Hannelore Hanover, at her best once again facing nine rivals.

The $300,000 (est.) Cane Pace pits North America Cup winner Captain Crunch against Bettor’s Wish in their continuing rivalry among the eight entered. Its companion filly pace, the $100,000 (est.) Shady Daisy, has the best nine currently racing led by Stonebridge Soul.

Freshman trotting stakes, the $324,550 Peter Haughton Memorial for the colts and $310,700 Jim Doherty Memorial for fillies, round out the Grand Circuit part of the 16-race extravaganza with post time at noon.
