The Grade 1, $1 million Wood Memorial on April 6 is the centerpiece of 13 graded stakes worth $3.85 million for the 77-day meet which begins on January 1. The Wood is also the culmination of a revamped three-year-old stakes program which kicks off on January 5 with the Grade 2, $200,000 Jerome, relocated from the position it has held at the end of the meet in recent years, and supported also by the Grade 3, $200,000 Withers on February 2 and the Grade 3, $400,000 Gotham on March 2.
Sophomore fillies are also granted expanded options in 2013, with the 1 1/16-mile Busher Stakes, held last year in late February and worth $75,000, moved to February 2 with the purse boosted to $100,000. On Wood Memorial Day, the Grade 2, $250,000 Gazelle at 1 1/8 miles replaces the Grade 3, one-mile Comely on the undercard, serving as a suitable prep for the Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks on May 3.
The Wood Day undercard also features the return of the Grade 2, $250,000 Ruffian Handicap at one mile for fillies and mares, along with the Grade 1, $400,000 Carter Handicap at seven furlongs for older sprinters, and the seven-furlong, Grade 3, $250,000 Bay Shore for three-year-olds.
