King, here's my guess:
1. Location: Not the easiest place to get to and wonder any prep availability there.
2. Lots of big races compete with Saratoga and Del Mar.
3. I think cost of Euros would not be worthit compared to what they have.
4. Still usually some big horses during the meet

I get that the track configuration is not a traditional layout and actually resembles a European style track but with that being said, I would think that, along with the purses, would have European horses fighting for spots in these races. So what gives?
