Required maintenance of Laurel s world-class turf course has necessitated adjusting the distances for the first two scheduled grass stakes of the season.
The $100,000 Henry S. Clark for 3-year-olds and up and $100,000 Dahlia for fillies and mares 3 and older will each be contested at 1 1/16 miles. Both stakes were originally scheduled for one mile.
Topping the Saturday, April 17 stakes program are the $125,000 Federico Tesio for 3-year-olds and $125,000 Weber City Miss for 3-year-old fillies. Once again, the Tesio will serve as a Win and In qualifier for Triple Crown-nominated horses to the 146th Preakness Stakes (G1) May 15 at Pimlico Race Course, and the Weber City is a Win and In event for the Black-Eyed Susan (G2) on Preakness weekend.
