Happy Fourth of July Weekend to those of you in the States, and a belated Happy Canada Day to those north of the border. Sixteen graded stakes races are slated to run this weekend, with the first occurring yesterday at Woodbine (G3-Dominion Day).
The last few weekends of graded stakes action has featured a heavy dose of turf racing but this time most of the racing will occur on the main track, including the Grade 1 Triple Bend Handicap at Hollywood and the Grade 2 Dwyer and Suburban Stakes at Belmont Park.
Below is a snapshot of all the graded stakes races, along with a few of the listed event taking place this weekend.
Have a safe and (somewhat) sane Fourth.
