A pair of horses that last raced in the Grade 1 Andreini Distance Stakes at 870 yards return to action to take part in the 550-yard feature including Andreini winner Rare Ed. Ramon Guce, the track’s all-time leading Thoroughbred pilot, will be aboard Rare Ed. Mickey Ward, which ran fifth in the Andreini, will also see in ation in the 550-yard dash.
