Anyway, is it just me, or is there some nay-sayer complaining about field strength every single time there's a race anywhere? What's wrong with this field? You have the horse who finished second in two TC races this year, a horse that ran well at Gulfstream earlier this year, another graded stakes winners, and a few wannabes. What is so awful about that? I don't have a problem with it. At least it's a reasonably full field.
I agree, and I think it is a great betting race for exotic bets. I think that it is a pretty level playing field as far as the horses' ability goes. I'm thinking that one off the wall horse may could surprise a few. I just have to figure out just which off the wall horse I want to use. LOL! There is going to be some very good races to handicap this weekend, and I think that this could be one of them!
