Charles Marquis’ Bear River, winner of the Kentucky Mint Turf Sprint (G2) at Kentucky Downs, heads a deep field of 12 plus two also-eligibles for Saturday’s 30th running of the $400,000 Valvoline Global Shakertown (G2) for 3-year-olds and up going 5 ½ furlongs in the grass.

The Valvoline Global Shakertown will go as the afternoon’s 10th race with a 5:49 p.m. ET post time.

Trained by Keith Desormeaux, the $1.7 million earner comes into the Shakertown off two third-place finishes in listed stakes at Fair Grounds in which he chased Saturday rivals Usually Wrong and Mondogetsbuckets.

James Graham has the call on Bear River from post 5 with Tyler Gaffalione on Mondogetsbuckets from post 7 and Isaac Castillo on Usually Wrong from post 12.
