That's what happens when fake stakes races are scheduled.
Owners of good horses enter them in order to get the black type. When the field turns up strong ... and the black type becomes less likely ... they scratch.
If that race were carded as an allowance ... which a $65,000 purse really is ... there wouldn't be that problem ... since there's no black type attached to winning it. You'd get genuine allowance horses entered.
Just a case of NYRA trying to fake people into believing that they're actually carding stakes races ... when they really aren't.
