Two 9-year-old millionaires who have had success at Keeneland, champion ChannelMaker and Red Knight, headline a roster of 41 nominees to the 29^th running of the $300,000 Sycamore (G3) to be run here Friday, Oct. 13. 

Entries for the 1½-mile grass test for 3-year-olds and up will be taken Friday. 

Channel Maker, winner of Keeneland’s Elkhorn (G2) in 2022 and earner of more than $3.9 million, is a four-time Grade 1 winner. Owned by the partnership of Wachtel Stable, Gary Barber, R. A. Hill Stable and Reeves Thoroughbred Racing and trained by Bill Mott, Channel Maker has won one of six races in 2023 with the victory coming in the Bowling Green (G2) at Saratoga in July. Channel Maker also won that race in 2018. 

Trinity Farm’s homebred Red Knight, with more than $1.8 million in the bank, won the Sycamore in 2020 and this spring notched his first Grade 1 victory with a triumph in the Man o’ War at Belmont Park. Mike Maker, who has won the Sycamore twice, trains Red Knight.
