Looking back at the stakes histories for the Ashland, it doesn't appear that either Keeper Hill (I'm still thinking SA Oaks) or Banshee Breeze ran in the Ashland (I think BB's last race before the Oaks was the Bonnie Miss); neither placed if they did.

FYI, Rings a Chime won the 2000 version, by a nose over Zoftig, with Circle of Life (dam of Circular Quay, The Roundhouse) third. She was trained by Lonnie Arterburn, and time for the race on a "good" track was 1:44.2.
