2020 Renewal of Robert G. Dick Memorial Officially Downgraded

Horsephotos

In accord with American Graded Stakes Committee policy, the July 11 GIII Robert G. Dick Memorial S. won by Gentle Ruler (Colonel John), scheduled for the Delaware Park turf course but switched to the main track, was automatically downgraded to listed status and was conducted as a listed stakes race. The American Graded Stakes Committee has reviewed the off-the-turf renewal and has determined that the original Grade III status will be not reinstated for the 2020 renewal. It is the policy of the American Graded Stakes Committee that a race that is scheduled for the turf course, but is moved to the dirt track after the closing of nominations because the turf course is unsuitable for racing, is automatically downgraded one level for that running only.
