I bet the fields would have been the same for the NY “sire series” at 125k.

Had to do it to keep the Laoban horses out of the open company races. Got the exacta in the fillies division, but I guess the colt ate it at the start at odds-on after running fairly well in the BC.
Should go back to normal next year, since Winstar bought up Laoban right before the BC. Wouldn't want NY to be home to a top caliber stallion...though I suppose his owners needed the money.
