Like the Eight Belles, the Edgewood has grown quite a bit since it first appeared on the schedule. In 2004, the race appeared as an ungraded stake for $100.000 and would become graded for the first time in 2015. It’s purse was gradually increased around that time, but now for the first time the Edgewood will run for $500.000!

Last Way To The Beac Shows the Way with Comfortable Whittingham Stakes Win
The field for the Whittingham Stakes was very impressive, and certainly worthy of competing against once another for twice as much as the $225.000 purse that was offered for the race.

Last week, Viable Tactics was scheduled to run in the GP Oaks, but trainer Mb Stables opted to scratch her out of the race. Instead, he would opt for the SA Oaks, and it would prove to be the correct decision as the filly would go on to score a two length victory and put herself in a position where Mb Stables needs to make a choice between three of his four eligible entries.
Tequa Fends Off Demanding Commander in Appalachian Thriller
After four wins in six races in sprints, Arindel could have kept Tequa running in races like that, but he would have bigger aspirations for his Copper Beast filly.
