That race was loaded with pedigree. 3rd place finisher Open Sleigh was out of Call Now, who won the Del Mar Debutante (then Gr2, now Gr1). Elusive Gift in 4th was out of Grade 3 winner Christmas Gift (who also produced Gr1 winner Christmas Kid). Bob's Star (6th) and Yield Bogey (7th) were also out of Graded stakes winners. Even the last place horse was a 1/2 to Johannesburg...
