The first Grade 1 race in Calder Race Course history, the $500,000 Princess Rooney Handicap, will highlight the 2006 Calder and Tropical at Calder stakes schedules. The six-furlong Princess Rooney shares top billing with the Grade 2, $500,000 Smile Sprint Handicap on Calder's signature event, the $1,960,000 Summit of Speed, which will be held on July 15. The Summit of Speed offers eight stakes, including two other graded races, the Grade 2 Carry Back and Grade 3 Azalea Breeders' Cup. Calder's second major event, the $1.6 million Festival of the Sun, will be held on Oct. 14. Calder has been known for its multiple-stakes cards and this year will be no exception. Besides the Summit of Speed and Festival of the Sun, the track will conduct four other multiple-stakes cards during the Calder meet and four during the Tropical at Calder meet. Among the multiple-stakes cards this summer are several new concepts, including Extreme Day at the Races on July 22 and Turf Sprint Championship Day on Aug. 5. Extreme Day will be highlighted by the $250,000 Bob Umphrey Marathon, named after the track's former racing secretary who died suddenly on Jan. 2. The Bob Umphrey will be run at two miles on the main track and will be run on the same card as the two-furlong Rocket Man and seven-furlong Methuselah Handicap for 6-year-olds and up. "The foundation that Bobby set here over the years is solid and we'll build further upon it," said Mike Anifantis, who succeeded Umphrey as racing secretary. "Events like the Summit of Speed have already proven successful and now it's my job to see that the momentum continues." Ken Dunn, the Calder president, said he and his staff are always searching for new ideas to attract fans to Calder. "Our traditional events are strong, but we must try some new things as well," said Dunn. The 112-day Calder meet runs from April 25-Oct. 15. The 60-day Tropical meet opens Oct. 16 and continues through Jan. 2, 2007. 2006-07 Calder stakes schedule DATEEVENTCONDITIONSDISTANCEPURSE Sat.,April 29Ponche Handicap3YO & Up6 furlongs$100,000 Sat.,April 29Hollywood Wildcat B.C.
