The worst stakes race name ever, and it isn't close

I miss the Jim Beam.

Usually it's a Whittingham or Bob Lewis where I think all of us know who it is. Who are the Mathis Brothers?

If there has to be a sponsor on the title, "The Spiral presented by Jeff Ruby Steaks" would sound so much better.

At least Jeff Ruby is a good steak. Ruth Chris? I've never felt so robbed walking out of a restaurant.

Furniture store, they are the race sponsor. In a weird turn of events they have stores here in OKC and in SoCal, think that is it. Odd combination.
