Even though the Kelso had competition from the Shadwell Mile at Keeneland, the Kelso remained an attractive stakes race.

It will be interesting to see how much competition the Kelso will get from the $300k Monmouth Cup run six days later over 9 furlongs.

Remind me, who ran in the Kelso last year? Was it Goldikova or Paco Boy...I'm a little fuzzy.
