Second year in a row an undercard stakes on BC Saturday has drawn a five horse field. Also only nine in the Juvenile Turf Sprint is kind of alarming.

The same race drew 5 or 6 in 2003, seems like the same old thing to me. There are way too many graded stakes anymore to actually have too many horses point for a 150k race.

Aren't there 13 in the $150k G3 Twilight Friday and 13 in the $150k Sen. Maddy Saturday?

It's worth noting that the first race on Saturday is a 2YO sprint going down the hill - 9 runners. Can you confidently use anything but the all button for that race? I think the value is there even with a Flashback free space.
