There are very few good older fillies and mares on the east coast right now, that's not a revelation.
Would Rachel Alexandra, Unrivaled Belle, and Zardana made this a more interesting race? Sure, but the over-saturation of stakes during the time between the Derby and Belmont destroys races with smaller purses.
Be prepared for a small field in the Vagrancy in a couple of weeks and the Sheepshead Bay will probably be a bunch of glorified allowance horses given the 4 G2/G3 races for older fillies and mares on turf between 4/10 and 6/5.
