Grade III

Pirate Petranella Seems Strong in Bewitch

This Saturday at KEE, older females that like to keep in running on the grass will head to the starting gate for the 17th running of the Grade 3 Bewitch. It offers a $150.000 purse to be divided up between its top four finishers, and that amount has been mostly constant throughout the history of the race.

Hurricane Warning for Tokyo City Cup

A field of nine will be hitting the starting gate for the 17th edition of the Tokyo City Cup, which is designed for horses that want to keep running and running. It’s a smaller Grade 3, so it would seem to be a good spot for up and coming horses in this division to make a big step forward.
