I always wonder why trainers with second tier horses don't enter them when there are going to be small fields in these graded races where you can get a nice check if you can plug up for 3rd or 4th, and who knows, maybe even have crazy things happen and steal a win. Instead, they keep their horses in the barn for weeks or months looking for that huge effort in NW1 or 2.
Its not the bettors problem.. NYRA has to use it's clout to influence trainers to run instead of the usual "there is nothing we can do attitude". Get someone in that has ideas on how to solve the problem instead of this horse ****.
