The eyes of the racing world will turn to PRX this weekend, with a group of very meaningful races. None will be bigger than the two that finish off the stakes portion of the card, and here we will take a look at one of them: the 16th running of the Cotillion Stakes. Whenever this race is held, you can count on seeing some of the best three year old fillies involved, and several of them will be heading to SA for the BC in six weeks.

This has led to the starting gate being mostly full, with twelve talented runners taking their chance at cashing in on the rewards that this race offers.
