Then add in races like the Cotillion, Indiana Derby, the Calder 2YO races, Canadian International, EP Taylor, the Hawthorne Gold Cup and the Meadowlands Cup, and it's no wonder that the talent is spread thin. Aside from Icon Project and Mine That Bird, are there any other horses "prepping" out west that would otherwise be in NY on Saturday? And even if those horses were here, it's not like the card would be significantly better from a wagering perspective.
