The biggest race of the day on Saturday in our virtual racing world will be the 20th running of the QE II Challenge Cup, a Grade 1 race that sends three year old fillies nine furlongs around the turf course at KEE. The $750.000 that is offered represents a new high for the stake, as it had been at $600.000 for the last two years, and lower amounts before that.
