A $750k stakes is a prep when it is used to prepare a horse for a much richer race.

Not too long ago, your dirt stakes horses that went a route of ground would prep for their big engagements in allowance races at sprint distances. For some reason, this does not quite happen as often, but prep races are alive and well in the dirt ranks.
