3:51 p.m.: Persistently, a granddaughter of champion Heavenly Prize, ran down a nice - although short - field of fillies to win the third race, an allowance event. The Phipps homebred has strong pedigree connections to another stable runner later in the day - in the sixth, first-time starter Puzzling is a daughter of Dancinginmydreams, a half-sister to Heavenly Prize.

2:34 p.m.: Favored Unaccountable takes the first race with an absolutely furious late rally for Mechanicville's Chad Brown. The crowd is gasping every time they show this replay. It's Brown's sixth winner of the meet and pushes him one win ahead of Todd Pletcher in these early trainer standings. Brown and Pletcher each have one more runner remaining today, meaning Brown will finish today no worse than tied for the lead.

2:12 p.m.: Hello racing fans, and welcome to the live blog for this first 'twilight' racing card at the Spa. First post is now just under 20 minutes away.

The big news already today is that Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra, as expected, will make her next start right here, in the Aug. 29 Personal Ensign. It will be her first try at a mile and a quarter.
