And none named after Dynever.

It's a conspiracy I tell you.

Delaware runs a Go For Wand for 3yo fillies, not to be confused for the (currently suspended) G1 for fillies and mares at Saratoga. Monmouth runs a Personal Ensign as well. I think there used to be a Forego at Turfway too.

Dynever has one in Saudi, but it's in his Arabic named and spelled backward with the fillies having to run in burquas.

The Go for Wand is now a Grade 2.

It was downgraded (sadly) and then sent to the shed for the 2010 season with the Ruffian (still a G1 taking it's place. Is it's possible that the now G2 GFW will be run at Belmont Fall?
