Nine To Run in Read Stakes on Sunday

Sunday’s card at DMR will be highlighted by the 21st running of the Grade 2 Read Stakes, whch is a nine furlong race on the grass. When we first saw the race in 2003, it debuted for a $400.000 purse, but it has unfortunately only gone down since then.

The United Nations Stakes boasted an impressive field, and the biggest names in the race did not let us down.

Quiet Return, the KYD winner, would take on Gorogue Laga, the PRK winner here at AQU. It’s not particularly unusual to see that type of thing, but when you consider that this is a seven furlong race, it makes that fact a little more interesting.
