47597 attended. Weather - perfect. Sunny and comfortable. The crowd was big - but the facility seemed to handle it well. Lines at concessions and mutuel windows seemed to be manageable and moved well.
Post-race watering holes Siro's and The Horseshoe had large crowds after the races - and downtown Caroline Street was hopping well into the wee hours of the morning.

FIRST RACE
Callana... Speed could be potent here.
Quay...Seems to be heading to a big effort.
Atlantic Dream...Typically in the hunt.
Dynaverse.
Treasured.
SECOND RACE
Darley entry... Gratiture - Sire can produce win-early types. Trainer is currently hot. Dam was very good - but hasn't produced much. Fingers Crossed also has potential - but is on AE list.

Gracer...PRX debut showed potential.
Mei Ling.
THIRD RACE

Madame Prosecutor...Perhaps needed the last off of the layoff.

Justonatheguys.
Abbey Street.
