Mountaineer Race Track is bringing back last year's stakes schedule in its entirety. All 28 stakes will be run again in the same order as in 2005. Nearly one-third of the stakes will be held on Aug. 6, when nine stakes, highlighted by the Grade 3, $750,000 West Virginia Derby, are conducted on a special afternoon card that will begin at 2 p.m. Eastern. Two of the races on that program, the Harvey Arneault Memorial and the West Virginia Senate President's Cup, have gotten an additional $40,000 apiece in funding from the Breeders' Cup Fund and will be worth $125,000 apiece. Aside from West Virginia Derby Day, the only stakes worth more than the standard $75,000 is the Mountaineer Mile, a $125,000 race for 3-year-olds and up on Nov. 11. In contrast to most tracks, which conduct their stakes only on weekends and holidays, Mountaineer will again run seven of its stakes on Tuesdays. 2006 stakes schedule DATEEVENTCONDITIONSDISTANCEPURSE Sat.,May 6PANHANDLE HANDICAP3YO & Up5 furlongs$75,000 Tues.
