Sycamore Stakes Loses Grade for 2013

After reviewing this year's edition of the Sycamore Stakes contested Oct. 17 at Keeneland, the American Graded Stakes Committee has decided not to reinstate the grade III status that was lost when the scheduled turf race was moved to the main track.

Shadwell Stable homebred Najjaar won the 1 5/8-mile listed race contested on the Keeneland Polytrack. He was followed by Eagle Poise second and Tricky Hat third.
