HUGE purses! But I noticed a lot of small fields. I hope it is just because it is opening day.

True. And the MSW for $115K should attract them too.

The purses are still strong but a third of that is restricted to KY breds

Good to hear the best voice in the game, Travis Stone, back on the mic.

You’d be hard pressed to ride a horse worse than Florent Geroux just rode Unitedandresolute in the 9th.

He’s not smart enough to stiff, so let’s just chalk it up to him being an incompetent douche who has had the benefit of riding a bunch of juiced up horses for Brad Cox.

If the sport actually cared, the stewards would call Geroux in and demand to know what he was doing, and his explanation would be available for bettors to read.

Something tells me that isn’t going to happen. But I can’t wait to see a bunch of horses taking a bath pictures all week. You know, the important stuff.

I think he might have had a little bad luck early but really did that horse no favors. Just a brutal trip.
