One of the biggest days in Washington racing, Washington Cup features six stakes worth an aggregate $250,000 in purse money. First post is 2 p.m.
Nine 2010 Emerald Downs stakes winners are nominated to the Washington Cup, led by Longacres Mile champion Noosa Beach, who could set a single-season record of five stakes wins with a triumph in the $50,000 Muckleshoot Tribal Classic. The 4-year-old Harbor the Gold gelding also is the only five-time winner at the meet and is tops in earnings with $199,750.
