Arklow and Channel Maker, a pair of 8-year-olds who have combined for more than $6.7 million in earnings, head an oversubscribed field. In all, 16 are entered but only as many as 12 can start in the three-turn, 1 1/2-mile turf fixture.
Other notables include Highland Chief, winner of the Grade 1 Man o’ War at Belmont Park in May, along with Red Knight, Admission Office, and Mira Mission, all of them graded winners.
