Graded stakes action is light stateside in the weekend leading up to the Breeders' Cup World Championships at Keeneland, but on Sunday in Japan, seven-time G1 winner Almond Eye will start in the G1 Tenno Sho.

A pair of listed stakes are featured on opening weekend at Del Mar, one Saturday and one Sunday. Also this weekend, a pair of stakes for 2-year-olds at Woodbine will begin the roads toward the 2021 Woodbine Oaks and Queen's Plate.

Racing from Belmont Park is televised on “America's Day at the Races” on FS2. “America's Day at the Races” will also broadcast races from the Churchill Downs' fall meet.

Saturday, Oct. 31

4:57 p.m.-$100,000 Grade 3 Bold Ruler Handicap at Belmont Park

Trained by Daniel Velazquez, the 6-year-old Arch Cat will be making his 38th career start in the seven-furlong test for 3-year-olds and up on Big Sandy. The hard-knocking Arch gelding, who sports a record of 13-3-12 with purse earnings of $363,485, was claimed for $16,000 in June 2019 at Parx and has since won 6-of-14 starts for the new connections.

5:15 p.m.-$250,000 Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Woodbine

Dreaming of Drew, a two-year-old daughter of Speightster, chases her first added-money title in the $250,000 Princess Elizabeth Stakes, one of two ($100,000 Overskate) features on Saturday's 11-race card at Woodbine. Eight starters are slated to go postward in the 75th renewal of the Princess Elizabeth, a 1 1/16-mile main track race for Canadian-bred 2-year-old fillies. Trained by Barbara Minshall, who has 380 career victories, Dreaming of Drew arrives at Saturday's engagement off a fourth-place finish in the Natalma Stakes (G1T) on Sept. 20 at Woodbine.

6:30 p.m.-$75,000 Kathryn Crosby Stakes at Del Mar

The Bing Crosby Season kicks off with a salute to the classy wife of the late singer and track co-founder – Kathryn Crosby – with a stakes race named in her honor and limited to fillies and mare aged 3 and up. Pick a filly or mare in this lineup and you can make a ready case why she could or should win. Morning line maker Jon White gave just the slightest of edges for favoritism to Donnie Crevier's veteran mare Cordiality as he hung her at a lukewarm 7-2. He put Branham, Baltas or McClanahan's Colonial Creed next at 4-1, then put a 5-1 projection on four different horses. It figures to be a tight one in the wagering and just as tight out on the Jimmy Durante Turf Course.

Sunday, Nov. 1

1:40 a.m.-about $3,104,299 G1 Tenno Sho Autumn At Tokyo Racecourse

The “Emperor's Cup,” run over 2,000 meters of turf, will feature 12 horses including seven-time Grade 1 winner Almond Eye. A total of seven Grade 1 winners will be participating, including double Tenno Sho (Spring) winner Fierement and Chrono Genesis, who crushed the competition in the Grade 1 Takarazuka Kinen at the end of June. Ages range from 4 to 6, with three females and one gelding competing against the boys.

4:48 p.m.-$250,000 Coronation Futurity at Woodbine

Eight hopefuls, including Barb Minshall trainees British Royalty and Threefiftyseven, and Gail Cox charge Tio Magico, square off in Sunday's $250,000 Coronation Futurity Stakes, at Woodbine. The 1 1/8-mile Tapeta event for Canadian-foaled 2-year-olds is a significant race on the road to the 162nd running of the Queen's Plate, first jewel of the OLG Canadian Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing.

Minshall, in the midst of a strong campaign, packs a powerful punch in the form of British Royalty and Threefiftyseven. British Royalty, an Ontario-bred son of English Channel, impressed in his career bow on October 11 at Woodbine. Under Jerome Lermyte, who once again gets the call in the Coronation Futurity, the Bruce Lunsford-owned gelding was pinched back at the start of the 1 mile and 70 yard main track race. Last of nine early, British Royalty steadily gained on his eight rivals, and was travelling well around the final turn. Sixth at the stretch call, he continued to gobble up ground and went on to a 1 ¾-length score in a time of 1:43.74.

7:00 p.m.-$75,000 Let It Ride Stakes at Del Mar

Alfred Pais homebred Margot's Boy was a tabbed a narrow 3-1 favorite in a competitive field of 10 on oddsmaker Jon White's morning line for Sunday's featured $75,000 Let It Ride Stakes at one mile on turf for 3-year-olds. A son of Clubhouse Ride out of the English-bred mare Margot Machance trained by Craig Lewis, Margot's Boy has three wins from nine career starts and earnings of $172,020. He shortens up from 1 1/8-mile assignments in the Grade II, $200,000 Del Mar Derby on September 6 (2nd) and Grade II, $200,000 Twilight Derby (7th) on October 18 at Santa Anita.

Sunday's Closing Day card will feature a mandatory payout of the Empire 6, which boasts a jackpot of $323,605 heading into Friday's 10-race card at Belmont Park.

Sunday's Empire 6 sequence kicks off in Race 4 [1:45 p.m.], a six-furlong $16,000 claiming event on the main track for New York-bred fillies and mares 3-years-old and upward. Highlander Training Center's speedy Charlotte Webley will gain class relief for trainer Jeremiah Englehart two starts after breaking her maiden at Belmont Park. Trainer Brad Cox sends out Circle B Racing's Cruising Strong, who arrives off an eight-month layoff seeking her second career victory.

New York-bred juvenile colts will square off for Race 5 [2:18 p.m.], a one mile maiden special weight over the main track. After two runner-up efforts, trainer Leah Gyarmati sends out Robert Brooks' Work Out, a son of first-crop stallion Outwork who was recently beaten 1 ¼ lengths going 6 ½ furlongs at Saratoga. Trainer Jonathan Thomas will debut Bloom Stable and Madaket Stables' Polpis – a dark bay son of Orb out of the Forest Wildcat mare Falconess – a half-sister to graded stakes winner Spice Island.

Action switches to the inner turf for the third leg of the sequence – a 1 1/16-mile $30,000 claiming event, carded as Race 6 [2:50 p.m.]. Mathis Stable's One Eyed Jack removes the blinkers for his turf debut after a distant fifth over a muddy main track at Saratoga. Alifyfe Racing's Beachside will attempt to parlay a strong runner-up effort on September 26 over the Widener turf into a victory for trainer David Donk.

The $80,000 Pumpkin Pie, at seven furlongs on Big Sandy for fillies and mares, begins the second half of the sequence. Larry R. Johnson's Never Enough Time will seek a third consecutive victory following triumphs in her native Maryland in the Alma North at Laurel Park and the Skipat at Pimlico. Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott sends Alisio off a 10-month layoff after a runaway victory in a second-level allowance event on December 30 at Aqueduct. The Godolphin homebred daughter of Ghostzapper makes her stakes debut in Sunday's event, carded as Race 7 [3:25 p.m.].

Trainer Chad Brown sends out Head of Plains Partners' Fluffy Socks, winner of the Selima on October 3 at Pimlico last out; as well as Don Alberto Stables' Ingrassia, who was a recent third in the Grade 3 Jessamine on October 7 at Keeneland.

Rounding out the sequence is a field of a dozen New York-bred fillies and mares in the final race in 2020 at Belmont Park, a six-furlong allowance over the main track, carded as Race 9 [4:25 p.m.]. Trainer Bruce Levine will saddle Impazible Donna for Flying P Stable after a third-out maiden win on October 4. Darlene Bilinksi and Harry Patten's Honey Money will make her first start since March 14 at the Big A, where she was a six-length winner at second asking for trainer Linda Rice.

The Empire 6 requires the bettor to select the first-place finisher of the final six races of the card. On non-mandatory payout days, if one unique ticket exists, then 100 percent of the net pool, plus the jackpot carryover if applicable, will be paid to the winner. If there is no unique wager selecting the first-place finisher in all six races, then 75 percent of the day's net pool will be distributed to those who selected the first-place finisher in the greatest number of races. The remainder will be added into the jackpot and carried to the next day's Empire 6.

Closing Day of the Belmont fall meet will also feature mandatory payouts for both the Early Pick 5 and Late Pick 5 wagers. First post on Sunday's nine-race card is 12:15 p.m.

Live racing will then move to Aqueduct Racetrack for the 18-day fall meet, featuring 29 stakes, including 11 graded events, worth $3.41 million in purse money, which will kick off on Friday, November 6 and run through Sunday, December 6.
