On paper, the Pitcher Stakes is a Grade 3, but there is nothing “Grade 3″ about the $400.000 purse that it offers and the quality of the horses that will be running in the race. We will see a showdown between Z Command and Fashionable, with five others who are very capable of knocking them off and stealing the show.
