Live blog for Thursday, July 29

For live race results, keep an eye on our Twitter stream.

6:18 p.m.: A look back on those pedigree notes from before. High Stakes Plater won the third for Chad Brown, keeping him tied with Todd Pletcher with five wins apiece early in the meet. Incredible! In the fifth, Deceive finished a good second, and in the sixth, Rotten To The Core was an even fourth.
Beau Choix earned a game victory in the Quick Call Stakes, marking the third winner on the day for Javier Castellano. He's leading the rider standings with nine wins to Johnny V's seven.

3 p.m.: And it's another happy birthday for Hall of Famer Bill Mott, who turns 57 today. Mott's Devil By Design just won the overnight Lucy Scribner Stakes, the 12th time in the last 18 years he's won a race on his birthday. Two of the days in that span were dark days.


1:56 p.m.: Pedigree notes on the day. In the upcoming third race, Chad Brown sends out High Stakes Player, a son of AP Indy and out of Pure Symmetry, daughter of champion Serena's Song. In the fifth race, we'll see the Phipps Stable's Deceive, a half-sister to the classy Gone Astray and a granddaughter of Inside Information. In the sixth is Rotten To The Core, a half-brother to Careless Jewel.

1:36 p.m.: Hello and welcome, somewhat belatedly, to our live blog for Thursday. It's been a busy day already today, with the first steeplechase of the meet carded as the first race of the day. Jonathan Sheppard trainee Sermon of Love made his return to the Spa a winning one, rallying late to take the Jonathan Kiser Novice. The 7-year-old gelding won a marathon race on the flat last summer, then finished second in the Grade I New York Turf Writers' Cup.
