Trainer George Weaver’s stakes-winning duo of Crimson Advocate and Amidst Waves headlines a field of 12 plus two also-eligibles entered for next Friday’s fifth running of the $250,000 FanDuel Limestone (L) going 5½ furlongs on the Keeneland Race Course turf for 3-year-old fillies.

The FanDuel Limestone will go as the afternoon’s seventh race with a 4:12 p.m. post time.

Wathnan Racing’s Crimson Advocate won the Queen Mary (G2) at Royal Ascot in England before concluding her 2023 campaign with a sixth-place finish against males in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (G1) at Santa Anita.

John Velazquez has the mount on Crimson Advocate from post 10.

R. A. Hill Stable, BlackRidge Stables, Swinbank Stables, Big Tuff Stables and Black Type Thoroughbreds’ Amidst Waves, a two-time stakes winner last year, was runner-up against the boys in the Indian Summer (L) here in the fall.

She will be making her first start since finishing 10^th in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint. Irad Ortiz Jr. has the mount from post 12.
