The Oh Say Stakes was run at the same conditions as the Jersey Shore Breeders' Cup--six furlongs on the dirt. Boston Common, who is among the entrant's for Thursday's race, finished third to It's a Monster in the Oh Say.

Ben Perkins Jr. trains It's a Monster for Eb Novak's New Farm. Expected to challenge him is Menacing Dennis, who has made his last three starts in races longer than a mile.
"It's going to be exciting," said the gelding's owner, Dennis Narlinger. "I'm looking forward to him dropping back to a sprint. I wanted to give him a shot against the best, in a classic race, going long. But the experiment is over."

Menacing Dennis third in the nice-furlong Snow Chief Stakes in California in April, then ran unplaced in the Preakness Stakes (gr. I). Menacing Dennis was fourth in his last start, the 8 1/2-furlong Leonard Richards Stakes at Delaware Park on June 8.

The field for the July 4 Jersey Shore Breeders' Cup Stakes, run at six furlongs, $100,000 race for 3-year-olds.
