Racing takes place at Scottsville PMB today replacing the usual Sunday slot and aside from the 2x grade3 headline features carded, in race 2 we get to see the return of Bridget Oppenheimer's outstanding Fort Wood colt - Fire Curtain.

Apparently the jockey felt that something went wrong in running, horse wasn't striding out freely. Will know more in the morning.
