I'm looking forward to this card. I believe the Princess Rooney will be the first Grade 1 race ever run at Calder. As always at this time of year, keep the weather in mind as it's the rainy season in SoFlo.

Anyone have any clue how the 'Rooney is now a G1, but the Smile is still a G2???

Guess whatever group of people grade races go by factors including how long the race has been run, quality of fields, etc...

I do thnk the Princess Rooney has been around for a while. The Smile for a far shorter period.

I never really cared about the grading of stakes process enough to care to read more about it, to be frank.
