The race has a great history as far as past winners goes...at least when it was run on dirt.

Rags to Riches won the last dirt running of it.

Look at '94 to '00...

'00 Surfside 1st - Spain 2nd - they eventually run 1-2 in the BC Distaff

'99 Excellent Meeting 1st - multiple Gr 1 winner Tout Charment 2nd

'98 Keeper Hill won - later took the Ky Oaks

'97 Sharp Cat won

'96 Antespend over Cara Rafaela and Hidden Lake

'95 Serena's Song won

'94 Lakeway won

Hard to beat that kind of a collection. Winning Colors actually was beaten by Goodbye Halo.

I hear you though ... the synthetic versions of this race have had disgustingly bad fields.
