Balanced Field for Monday’s PID Masters Stakes

The racing excitement will not be over with once the weekend is, as Monday will feature the 11th running of the PID Masters Stakes, which is a Grade 2 sprint for females on the main track. This stake first appeared on the schedule in 2009, but it has not been held every year, and we did not see it last year.

The Time Is Nownownow for Talented Turf Twos

In classification, the Nownownow Stakes is ungraded, but there is nothing ungraded about the $500.000 purse that is at stake. This is just the second time that the race has been run, and it is a welcome addition to the schedule as it provides a great opportunity for two year old horses who have shown an early liking to running on the grass.
