A specular line up has taken entry for the feature C1 and lower event and that alone is worthy of the day’s entrance fees, dubbed the Metro Stakes compliments of the Metro Stationery and Office Supplies Company. The winner will race away with $1.2M and trophy over 7 furlongs. A virtual who is who for horses in that category has taken entry. Those inked to go include Beckham James, Stolen Money, Spankhurst, Bossilina, John Bull, Ritorna Vincetori and Stormy Victory. A gate to pole battle is in the making.

The co-feature F class and lower seven furlongs event is also expected to be keenly contested. The likes of Morning Colours, Creemore, Beckham James, Forlance Kingdom and Full Force will be gunning for the win.

Picking a winner for the H and lower seven furlongs event will be a difficult task as a close race is in the making.

The Three years-old Guyana Bred six furlongs matchup is expected to be another crowd puller. The likes of Ruff Time, I’ll have Another, She’s Perfect, Royal Guard, Easy Bella, Citation, Rude Boy ll and Perfect Gold will all be looking for the perfect finish.

A large field is expected in the event for J and lower horses.

The final event listed on the day’s card is for L class open animals.
