Did the inner at Aqueduct really need Hedge Fund(half to Super Saver) racing every 5 days to fill the 7500 whle somewhere there are 20 horses at Turfway that should have been in NY or somewhere substantial help filling the card? And yes if there 12 and 3 on the AE list in a 7500 claimer with only 40 races being run in the country on a wednesday in Feb the Handle and the interest would be very marketable.
