Bowling Green at Belmont?
 
What happened to this race? According to NYRA's website, it was to be run on Friday (Opening Day). I dont see it in the entries for that day.

It was brought back as an extra for Sunday, I'm presuming because of the chance of rain for Friday or maybe lack of entries.

Since the Bowling Green was not run last year there's an extra impetus on NYRA's part to run it this year or it will lose its grade. An off the turf version would almost certainly be downgraded and put its future as a graded stake in jeopardy.

Thanks for the info. I figured it would be postponed. Based on the nominees, it looks like a pretty nice field headed by Banrock.
