Older sprinters that may not be considered to be among the elites of their division will get a chance to run for a good purse in the 19th running of the Pelican Stakes. The race debuted in 2005 for a $60.000 purse, and has not been held every year. It has been a mainstay on the schedule since 2016, which would be the first time it ran for triple digits.
