Kev one of the worst decisions that NYRA ever made was to eliminate the middle two year old stakes races and push both the Hopeful and Spinaway from closing weekend back to Travers weekend. It simply made no sense.
The Hopeful will be as good this year as any running ever. Biancone will be running City Snitch, Lukas will be running that FuPeg freak, and Pletcher will be running Circular Quay, Soaring By, and Scat Daddy. It ought to be one for the ages and is sure to produce a great race.
