5:18 p.m.: Five on the day for Johnny V, who just won the ninth with Zapster. He's about to get up on Devil May Care in the Alabama! Heading down to the paddock now. Who do you like?

4:25 p.m.: All in the family - City Sneakers just won the seventh race for Linda Rice. It's the second winner of the day that Rice has trained for her father, Clyde.

3:43 p.m.: Streak over. Edgar Prado, who also won today's first race, takes the sixth with Pin Number.

3:16 p.m.: Make that FOUR in a row for Johnny V, as he and Morning Line draw off to win the fifth race. It was also the second win of the meet for Hall of Famer Nick Zito. Velazquez has the mount on the 2-year-old Igoturback in the sixth.

2:35 p.m.: Three winners in a row for Johnny Velazquez, who just took the fourth with Callide Valley. Velazquez entered today tied with Javier Castellano, who rode three winners yesterday, for the jockey race. So much for that. Remember, Velazquez rides Devil May Care in the Alabama later.

2:09 p.m.: The aptly-named We Need V L Ts wins the third for owner/trainer Linda Rice. Appropriately enough, the runner appeared beaten, then came back by a nostril.

11:50 a.m.: Hello from the press box racing fans! It's a beautiful Saturday afternoon here at the Spa, and the countdown to the Alabama is officially on - just about six hours to go til post time. It's the sort of thing worth counting down to, the sort of thing we get involved in this sport for.

One change to announce for the big race (although it doesn't involve the two favorites); Javier Castellano has picked up the mount on Connie and Michael.

It's already been a busy morning at the Spa, as Super Saver (5F in 1:01.13), A Little Warm (1:01.58), Trappe Shot (5F in 1:01.92), Fly Down (4F in :48.35) and Afleet Express (6F in 1:13.06) all turned in their final works in advance of the Travers.
