2YO stakes are graded in the same way all other stakes are ... after the fact.
That's the great flaw in the grading system ... a race run in 2006 is given a grade based on the quality of the horses who ran in it from 2000-2005.
That grading has nothing whatsoever to do with the horses who are running in this year's race.
That's why I always refer to "G2 horses" ... and not "G2 races" ... because there can be ... and often is ... a great deal of difference between those two terms.
