This is an excellent read. I have a few comments though.

The NTRA has looked into many options but the racetracks really cater to the trainers and they all want 4 weeks off for their final preps. This is actually proof that they learned nothing from Matz this spring. This magical number of having a final prep 4 weeks out is just not necessary. They should have more 5 and 6 weeks out. As for Belmont, the Champage is too close to the BCJ. Younger horses should have 4 weeks minimum.


Lastly, Nobiz Like Shobiz, Taggs horse, is not another NY Bred. He is a KY bred. I'm a Numbers guy is a really nice NY bred in that race though. He is actually out of a Lanes End Stallion though.

There is a really nice NY bred running tomorrow against Showing Up though that is out of a NY stallion. His name is Oedipus Oneal. He is out of a NY stallion that I like named Freud.
