What makes it disgraceful is that this race couldn't round up more horses even when there is no standout horses that can win this in a workout.
Think it has a few stakes quality horses. Java's War was well thought of by some not so long ago if I recall. I do agree though that it is odd others aren't giving it a shot with allowance level horses. My real curiosity is where the blame is to be laid. Owners? Trainers? Racing office? A statement was made without any explanation. Didn't consider the implications of just not running it either. Matter of fact, didn't do a thing but complain, so I presented a historical example that seems even worse. But it also happened to be a historic race from the good ole days. Not every race is going to be a classic, but I don't let it bother me.
