Next up on the SAR schedule on Saturday will be The Metropolitan Handicap, another race that awards an automatic spot into the BC in five months, this one for the Dirt Mile. This is a race that saw the great Alpha Ultimo capture three of the first four editions, and more recently saw So Profound go back to back in 2020 and 2021.
