Here's a few names for you......Carson Hollow, Xtra Heat, Marley Vale ( second ), Hurricane Bertie, Capote Belle, Heavenly Prize ( second ), Classy Mirage and Safely Kept.

How many of those names won in recent years? Yeah, Safely Kept was a monster but that was what, 1989 or 1990? The bottom line is this race has been putrid in recent years and if it was run in any other state besides NY or California, it would be a Grade 3.
