The Inaugural Untapable Stakes Runs at KD Sunday
For the first time, The Untapable Stakes will be run here at HRP, and it was somewhat of a late addition to the stakes schedule. There are very few opportunities of this stature for the two year fillies on the grass, and even though this is not a graded stake, it’s large purse and influence on the BC in about three months makes it very appealing.
