Lbig, I agree it's a relatively weak field. That's why the floodgates are apparently open for entries, and they are streaming in. If they keep streaming, the race may not be so easy.
I would not run a young horse in a 1.5 mile race carrying 126 lbs unless 2 things were true: 1. It was the Belmont Stakes. 2. I thought my horse had a VERY good chance to win.
"A shot" would not be enough for me. A "good chance" would also not be enough.
If your horse goes, I'll be rooting for him. But I personally think it would be better to pick and choose from the summer stakes.
