Multiple graded stakes winners Trikari and Neat are the marquee names among a dozen 3-year-olds and three also-eligibles entered Saturday for the 20th running of the $600,000 Bryan Station (G3).
Scheduled for a mile on the turf, the Bryan Station will go as the ninth race on the 10-race program next Saturday with a 5:16 p.m. ET post time.
Amerman Racing Stable’s Trikari has three graded stakes victories in 2024 highlighted by a narrow score in the Belmont Derby Invitational (G1). Trained by Graham Motion, Trikari also won the American Turf (G2) Presented by TwinSpires at Churchill Downs on Kentucky Derby Day and the Secretariat (G2) at Colonial Downs in August.
Fourth in his most recent start against older horses in the City of Hope (G2) Presented by MyRacehorse at Santa Anita on Sept. 28, Trikari will be ridden by Manny Franco from post 11.
Red, White and Blue Racing’s Neat returns to Keeneland, where he had his first graded stakes victory this spring in the Transylvania (G3) Presented by Keeneland Select for trainer Rob Atras. Neat, who also has posted victories in the Manila (G3) at the Belmont at the Big A meet in June and the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame (G2) at Saratoga in August, will be ridden by Junior Alvarado from post 1.
