The first time that 8 horse field has 2 vet scratches, a stewards scratch and then a gate scratch (not that an AE would matter then) and becomes a 4 horse field will they still be bragging about the quality?

To Honor and Serve was second, and the jock claimed foul against Astrology, who won, and the foul was dismissed. It was a full field of 14 going 6 or 7 on dirt. A writer ridiculed the race and said it should've been divided into two, because, you know, a 14 horse field is so much more interesting than a 14...but still.
