The Sycamore Stakes (Grade III) is set for 4:49 p.m. today at Keeneland -- Race No. 8. The race is for three year-olds and up.

It will be Musketier's seventh at Keeneland.

Sue Lorimar, an assistant to Musketier trainer Roger Attfield, said: "He likes to travel, and he does like Keeneland. A lot of horses really like Keeneland. It's a little more laid back, a more country atmosphere. When they look out, they see green instead of cars and highways."
