Notes: I did decide to split the Trial Classic for Fillies into two divisions,even though we don't have any solid information that real Russian tracks split their Stakes fields. I can only hope that giving 2 fillies an chance to get a SW in their first starts will continue to boost interest in and entries at the Express International tracks!
