Churchill Downs/Coady Photography Seeking the Soul, winning the 2017 Clark Handicap at Churchill, is nominated to the Sept. 29 Lukas Classic, but may instead run in the Ack Ack the same day.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Seeking the Soul, winner of the Grade 1 Clark Handicap here last fall, is one of 25 nominees to the Lukas Classic here Sept. 29, but trainer Dallas Stewart may opt instead to run him at a one-turn mile in the Grade 3, $100,000 Ack Ack, one of three other stakes on the card.

Seeking the Soul faded to finish 13th as the second wagering choice in his last start, the Sept. 1 Woodward at Saratoga. In his four prior starts, the Charles Fipke homebred had earned triple-digit Beyer Speed Figures.

Limousine Liberal, winner of the Grade 3 Belmont Sprint in July, is one of 23 nominees to the Ack Ack, but trainer Ben Colebrook said the Oct. 5 Phoenix at Keeneland is the more likely spot.

The other two stakes on the Sept. 29 night card are the $100,000 Jefferson Cup for 3-year-old turf horses and a Grade 1 race for Arabians, the President of the United Arab Emirates Cup.
