The $30,000 National Sporting Library & Museum Cup returns as the marquee race of the day, a timber race run over three and one quarter miles. New this year is the addition of the $25,000 Magalen O. Bryant Memorial, run in memory of Mrs. Magalen O. Bryant, an entrepreneur, conservationist, and staunch supporter of thoroughbred racing in the US and Europe.
