Eleven were entered into the Glen Cove, but after a couple of early scratches, we now will have just nine heading to the starting gate for the race. This is the fifth time that the race has been run, and it will be the first time that race carries a graded designation.

With Purse and Distance Reduction, DEL Handicap Runs with Six
DEL will get a rare opportunity to get called into action on Sunday, as a field of six takes part in the $400.000 DEL Handicap. This is for fillies and mares on the main track, and is run at nine furlongs.

The gelding seems to be at his best the longer that the races get, and at a mile and a half, he was up to the challenge to take on the reigning BC Champion.
