On Saturday at KEE, we will get a look at a field of ten turf sprinters going to post for the 20th running of the Shakertown. The race was initially a Grade 3 with modest beginnings, having been run for just $100.000. It stayed at that level for over a decade, before eventually getting a bump to $200.000 in 2016 when it was upgraded to a Grade 2.
