Today’s local racemeeting takes place on the Fairview turf track with eight races carded for this afternoon.
Jockey Craig Zackey makes his way to the Windy City and he has a few decent winning chances for the Gavin Smith stable.

Official Secret from the Alan Greeff stable takes her place in Race 4.
She was an easy winner of her last start over this course and distance, against male company.
She quickened up well, took the lead at the 300m mark and won with a ton in hand.
She does meet stronger this afternoon but is in a good space and can follow up.
Hollywoodbets-sponsored Trainer Cliffie Miller sends out Warm Winter Nite in Race 7.
He should have finished closer to the winner last time as he was held up for a run at the 200m mark. He has finished third twice from three starts over this distance.
The son of What A Winter is having his first run for the stable.
He gets a change of headgear and with luck in running, he can notch up his second-career victory.
Jockeys Robert Khathi and Marco V’Rensburg will not be riding today.
