On Friday, the highlight of the day at SAR will be the 21st running of the Grade 3 Amsterdam, sending a full field of twelve a total of six and a half furlongs on the main track. This race provides a great opportunity for trainers to give their horses a race to prepare for the BC Sprint, while keeping them away from older horses if they felt that is best.
