Tejano Run struggled with the slop in one of the 1995 divisions. For added excitement, Concern had a public work that afternoon with Jerry Bailey aboard. Soon after, Concern's trainer switched to Mike Smith to ride Concern. I'm sure Bailey was crushed that he had to console himself with Cigar.

How is it they can get 21 for a derby prep and we wind up with 6 horse fields at Gulfstream and New York?

In the 90s... The Lake George at Saratoga was split numerous times as was The Lake Placid(when it was run as the Nijana). The Jaipur was split a couple times too..

The funniest part is the San Vicente which pays 150k at 7F has 5 probables. Creative Cause and nothing

O well at least horse will have to prove they belong instead of just beating nothing. Plus least we will have 2 good betting races instead of a Grade 3 with 5 runners and 2 Allowance races with 6 like Gulfstream

You have 2 Grade 1 winners, both of whom have also placed in Grade 1 events. American Act comes off a maiden win that produced 2 subsequent winners in maiden special weights, including the highly touted Bodemeister (the other was out of champion Folklore). Let's Get Crackin' has placed in 4 minor stakes.

Tough crowd.
