The collection of nice horses at HAW tomorrow are meaningless to Grade 1 field conversation. The Carey runners are horses that can't go in the Gr. I Shadwell Mile at KEE, and the HAW Gold Cup horses aren't good enough for the JCGC.

Crist's thoughts, among others, are further outlined in the Prescription For Racing that was released by TDN. Worth a read.
