King Que Niagra will be in action this Saturday, as the gelding is one of seven horses taking part in the 19th running of the United Nations Stakes from MTH. This is the first year that the race will be run as a grade 2, as it received a downgrade in its classification from last year, but the $600.000 purse was not changed.

It may have been over a year ago when they won their big race, but the running of the Nerud featured two TC winners from 2023. 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.

The gate is full for Saturday’s running of the Grade 2 Nerud at AQU, sending older horses seven furlongs on the main track. The race first appeared at BEL in 2014, and was run for a $400.000 purse, but unfortunately that dollar amount has only gone down since then.
