Ragtime Heads Deep Field For Lexus Raven Run

Godolphin’s Ragtime, runner-up in the Test (G1) Presented by Ticketmaster and easy winner of the Dogwood (G3) Presented by Resolute Racing at Churchill Downs last month, heads a field of 12 plus three also-eligibles for next Saturday’s 27th running of the $400,000 Lexus Raven Run (G2) for 3-year-old fillies going 7 furlongs on the main track.

Trained by Bill Mott, who won the 2021 edition of the race with Caramel Swirl, Ragtime will be ridden by Junior Alvarado from post 9.

The race also marks the return to the races for Shortleaf Stable’s Quietside for trainer John Ortiz. A two-time graded stakes winner and second choice when sixth in this spring’s Kentucky Oaks (G1) in her most recent start, Quietside will be ridden by Jose Ortiz from post 11.
