With all these turf stakes being taken off, remember the American Graded Stakes Committee rules regarding their status: "If turf course conditions prompt its being changed to a non-grass course after the close of nominations, the race is automatically downgraded by one grade level for that running only; however, the Committee will review the race within five (5) days of its running and may restore its prior grade for that running."
