You're exactly right, it's like they packed their stuff up and went home. Big deal if they can't run the Washington Park at the end of the meet. It attracted decent, though not exceptional, fields in the past. I don't think that for a place like Arlington Park, having Lewis Michael win your signature dirt race of the meet is such a bad thing. He's the sort that fits the AP stakes schedule outside of Million Day.

Yuck.
