Weekend Warrior for Sept. 17
Belmont has the Grade 1, but Charles Town has the richest race in the nation Saturday. Belmont’s headliner is a terrific renewal of the $250,000 Garden City Stakes, but the ungraded Charles Town Oaks boasts a purse of $400,000. North America’s three other graded stakes Saturday, all Grade 3 races, are the $250,000 Summer Stakes and the $200,000 Natalma – Woodbine’s two big juvenile turf races that set the stage for Sunday’s $1 million Woodbine Mile card – and the $100,000 Pucker Up at Arlington.
