For a year or two it was the third or fourth richest turf race in American at nine furlongs or less. I now think it has a bad spot on the calendar as any really good turf horses ready to run in the spring are going to the Kilroe if they are on the West Coast or to the Maker's Mark and then to the Churchill race. The Muniz still attracts a solid field, but I don't think we will see another Lord Smith vs Hawksely Hill or a Sarafan vs Beat Hollow type of top class battle any time soon. FG could probably do just as well by running a $300k turf race at 9 furlongs a few weeks after the Citation and then a $200k turf marathon to close out the meet.
