wow... I continue to be amazed that they can't get more horses for this race. If I remember correctly, the year Eight Belles won the Fantasy it was a solid 3 horse field and I think Rachel only beat 3 or 4 horses last year.

You think there would be more owners that would want to back themselves into a G2 placing.

$2,000 to pass the entry box and $2,000 to start = $4,000.

$180,000 1st
$60,000 2nd
$30,000 3rd
$15,000 4th
$9,000 5th
$6,000 each thereafter

Now arguably, why should anyone with a nice forward-moving allowance filly go up against the four that line up here? What's the upseide? A lot would need to happen 'right' for you to get third ("black type"), and you may well have missed a softer spot, even a stake, elsewhere.

Too many stakes?

and that is the type of attitude that makes racing boring right now. I'm not saying I blame the owners, cause I understand WHY they would want to find a softer spot.. but it really hurts the sport.

Used to be a great race...you would think with all the synthetics in play this race would attack most of america's current dirt stars.

Where are the current dirt horses racing for 500k in March/April/May?

Nice win by Blind Luck, though a bit green maybe.

The Fantasy is turning out to be a nice race lately.

Both the top two look like really legit horses...they powered away from the back markers. I was really impressed by both Blind Luck and Tidal Pool and those two have to be considered the clear top 2 going into the Oaks in a month.
