Sugar Bowl Stakes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sugar Bowl Stakes is an American race for Thoroughbred horses run near Christmas at the Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans, Louisiana. Set at a distance of six furlongs on the dirt for two-year-olds, the Sugar Bowl offers a purse of $75,000.
Although it is an ungraded event, it is still considered a prep to the Kentucky Derby, albeit it a minor one.
