Keeneland Racecourse posted record averages for both attendance and wagering handle during its 17-day fall meet, the track said on Saturday, the fourth straight meet at which attendance records rose.

Average attendance rose 3 percent to 15,674, Keeneland said, despite up-and-down weather throughout the meet, which ended on Saturday. The meet started on an unseasonably hot day, was followed by heavy rains for two weekend days, and then the track enjoyed nearly ideal weather for a week. The last week of the meet started out cold and wintry, but closing day was seasonable.

Weren’t we just here? Didn’t we just run over to Keeneland for a few days before finding ourselves right back here at Churchill Downs?

Indeed, some Kentucky racing fans and participants might be asking themselves those very questions as the 25-day fall meet gets started at Churchill. In fact, it was less than a month ago – as opposed to the traditional four-month break – when live racing was last conducted at the historic Louisville track, the result of the addition of a brand-new September meet to a revised racing calendar in Kentucky.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Trainer Roger Attfield has run numerous horses in the Canadian International, without a victory. The drought could end Sunday, when he sends out favored Forte Dei Marmi and upstart Perfect Timber in the 76th running of the $1 million fixture.

The International encompasses exactly one lap around Woodbine’s roomy 12-furlong course. It heads a superb 11-race card that also features another Grade 1 turf stakes, the $500,000 E.P. Taylor, a 10-furlong test for fillies and mares.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Trainer Neil Drysdale is no stranger to Woodbine, and the Grade 1 Canadian International has figured prominently in his history here.

On Sunday, Lucayan will be Drysdale’s eighth Canadian International starter and will look to give the Southern California-based conditioner his second victory in the race after Marsh Side recorded a major upset here in 2008.

[bc_video_id:308349:]ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Tannery, coming off a pair of solid Grade 1 turf efforts in New York, looms as the one to beat in Sunday’s $500,000 E.P. Taylor Stakes.

The Grade 1 E.P. Taylor, the 1 1/4-mile turf race for fillies and mares that is the companion feature to the Canadian International, attracted 10 entrants – three U.S. invaders, three European shippers, and four locally based runners.

Tannery also was nominated to the Grade 1 Canadian International, and trainer Alan Goldberg considered tackling males there.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – The Kentucky Court of Appeals has ruled that the state’s circuit court should review the one-year suspension levied by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission on former chief state steward John Veitch because the sanction was based in part on a flawed interpretation of his role in the Life At Ten incident at the 2010 Breeders’ Cup.
