First post for the 14-race card is 4:50 p.m. PST.
The Staats occupies the fourth race slot on the evening, while the Open II Pace goes as the second and the Open II Distaff Pace is the eighth on the program.
On the wagering front, the 20-cent Hi-Five in the 12th race offers a $4,400 carryover and a $20,000 guaranteed gross pool. There are also three wagers offered each night with a reduced 16 per cent takeout rate: the 20-cent early and late Pick-5s and the 20-cent Pick-4, with the latter featuring a $25,000 guaranteed gross pool.
Looking at the Open II Pace, Proof went a long mile last week in his California debut and finished well back as the even-money favourite with stablemate Allmyxsliventexas taking the bow. With the race under his belt and a cleaner trip, he could easily make amends this weekend.
