When I say G1, I mean Grade 1. Stakes races are graded on the quality of horses that have run in them or won them in the past. A grade 1 race is generally the cream of the crop of horses that run in them. A grade 2 tends to have a slightly lower class of horses, but some top horses have run in them. A grade 3 is the lowest grade of a graded stakes race, but still has had enough talented horses in the past to set it apart from an average everyday race at a racetrack.
