Colebrook Farms’ Simply in Front, winner of the 6½-furlong AGS Music City (G2) at Kentucky Downs in her most recent start, headlines an overflow field of 12 3-year-old fillies plus four also-eligibles entered Friday for the 34th running of the $350,000 Bank of America Valley View (G3).
Run at a mile over the grass, the Bank of America Valley View will go as the ninth race on next Friday’s 10-race program with a 5:16 p.m. ET post time. Oct. 25 is the penultimate day of the Fall Meet.
Trained by Eddie Kenneally, Simply in Front was runner-up in the Ontario Colleen (G3) at Woodbine going a mile prior to her Kentucky Downs victory. Last year at Woodbine, she was second to She Feels Pretty in the Johnnie Walker Natalma (G1) going a mile.
Luis Saez, who was aboard for the victory at Kentucky Downs, has the call in the Valley View from post 12.
