Keeneland is gearing down and Churchill Downs is revving up in preparation for the 2018 Breeders’ Cup, which is a little over a week away. There are only three U.S. graded contests this weekend, and all come on Saturday at Keeneland, Belmont Park and Santa Anita Park. There is also a graded steeplechase contest on tap Saturday while Woodbine provides the only graded action on Sunday thanks to the Ontario Fashion (Can-G3).
