The Sycamore Brings the Stayers Back to the Grass

· 1 min read

The 2026 Sycamore Stakes is drawing a field of American turf runners built to go a long way, horses whose race begins where most finish. It's a race for patient riding and real stamina on grass, and it gives the stayers' division one of its moments. For readers who follow the turf, it's a field worth studying name by name.

With reporting from America's Best Racing.
