The American Graded Stakes Committee released a statement Aug. 5 that the previously grade II Lake George Stakes was automatically downgraded to grade III status because the originally scheduled turf event July 31 at Saratoga was moved to the main track.

In addition, the winner of the race, Be Fair, was not credited with a grade II win, and the second- and third-place finishers were not credited with Grade II placings.
