Beverely D is always before the Million, they play around with the Secretariat but the last couple years it has been after the Million. My guess it that they are trying to get graded status for the Sea O' Erin ( I think it was graded years ago). It is a great prep for the BC Mile and could start to attract some decent horses if it became graded.

The only reason to move it to Million Day and is a nice addition. Would love to see Fort Prado win and consider the BC Mile, would be awesome.

And Scav -- you're totally right.

A weak card compared to some from Million days past.

No Smart Deb, no Cigar, but we are treated to a 35K claimer, an 18K claimer, and a statebred entry level turf allowance with the usual suspects taking turns trying to accidentally win and somehow clear the condition.
