THE PIZZA MAN CHASES SLICE OF HISTORY LEADING LISTS 26 By Jeremy Balan

idwest ' homebred The Pizza MMan looks to become the first horse to win the Arlington Million (gr.

Winless in three 2015 starts—including finishes behind fellow Million runners Greengrassofyoming, Pumpkin Rumble, and Kasaqui—The Pizza Man will be reunited with the who last rode him to victory, Hall of Famer Mike Smith. Smith guided The Pizza Man to victory in the Hol- lywood Turf Cup (gr. IIT) at Del Mar in November, but hasn't been aboard the Roger Brueggemann-trained gelding since.

GRADE I STATUS RACES TO BE REVIEWED By Tom LaMarra

he American Graded Stakes Committee has Tformed a subcommittee to examine the number of grade I stakes as it relates to the current and pro- jected racehorse inventory in the United States. The AGSC, which falls under the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association, held an adminis- trative meeting Aug. 9 in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Andy Schweigardt, TOBA director of industry re- lations and development and AGSC secretary, pro- vided a brief update Aug. 10 during the TOBA annual members meeting. Schweigardt said the subcommittee "will look at grade I races across all divisions and make recom- mendations to the full committee. The feeling is it's becoming top-heavy, and the pool of available hors- es is shrinking." For 2016 the committee awarded graded status to 464 races, or 58.9% of eligible stakes. Of the total, 109 (23.5% of all graded stakes) were granted grade I status. There are 133 grade II stakes and 222 grade III stakes this year. The Thoroughbred foal crop, according to The Jockey Club statistics, fell 37.5% from 2007 to 2012, when the number stood at 21,440. Estimated figures for 2014-15 show some stabilization. "To maintain the stature of (grade I stakes), the committee will look at reducing the numbers," Schwei- gardt said. "It will take several years, with a push- down effect to reduce grade IIs and grade IIIs." The AGSC will hold its annual grading session Nov. 30 in Lexington. BH
