This Saturday, FG will play host to both a KYD and a KYO prep race, but also has several interesting races on the undercard that will lead us up to the day’s features.

Outside of a couple races this weekend, it is a very quiet few days on the stakes scene. Due to that, we’re going to get some coverage here of some stakes that have under a $100.000 purse. Here, we look at the SSM F/M Turf, which as the name implies, is run on the grass for females that were bred in the Sunshine State.
