A total of 10 stakes races will be offered at the 25-day fall meet at Golden Gate Fields which begins Oct. 22 and runs through Dec. 12. The stakes action kicks off Oct. 30 with the Pike Place Dancer S. for 2-year-old turf fillies followed by the $75,000 El Dorado Shooter S. Oct. 31. The El Dorado Shooter is one of two stakes at the fall meet restricted solely for California-bred or sired runners. The other, the $75,000 Bear Fan S., is slated for Dec. 11.
