Graded Stakes Winners At Atlantic City

[Shemp Howard]

Eldaafer (http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/thoroughbred/eldaafer/2005?source=BHonline), winner of the 2010 Breeders’ Cup Marathon (gr. III), was entered in a $27,000 starter allowance race Saturday, April 30 at Atlantic City Race Course. The 6-year old marathon specialist will compete in the 12-horse field running one mile and 40 yards on the turf in his third start of the season.

Can anyone name the last graded stakes winner to run at Atlantic City?????

Well it has to be the horse that won the last running of the Unitied Nations/Caesars International at Atlantic City. Maybe Lure, I remember him winning that race; or is that too far back?

Lure, already a graded stakes winner, did indeed run (and win) there in 1994.

Can anyone come up with something more recent?

In 2009 Atticus Kristy ran at ACRC and ran 2nd. That horse was a graded stakes winner.

I don't think anyone that ran in 2010 was.
