Four stakes slated for Saturday night card

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The final night card of the year at Churchill is set for Saturday when four stakes, all for 3-year-olds, anchor an 11-race program that starts at 6 p.m.

The Grade 3 Dogwood is the only graded event among the foursome. Last Leaf, already a four-time stakes winner this year and owned by the Monarch Stables of Frank Bertolino, was among the fillies expected for the seven-furlong race. Eddie Kenneally has assumed her training from Ron Spatz, for whom Last Leaf captured three Gulfstream Park stakes and the Aug. 14 Audubon Oaks at Ellis Park in her latest start.
