However, things changed when Encino, who was originally scheduled to start in the ninth slot, sustained an injury in the race. As a result, the positions of the posts have been changed, and horses that were originally placed in posts 10 to 20 have been moved up one post. As a result, Epic Ride will replace Encino starting 20 games later.
