I love Keeneland and am looking forward to going next week. However, those are not the fields they could have envisioned for those races moving back to dirt.

Very true.

@DRFByronKing: Last year w/ Poly at #Kee, the Madison, Commonwealth, Ashland and Bluegrass had 45 starters; this year on dirt the 4 stakes have 28 entered

Not ideal, but I'd rather bet a 7-horse dirt field in a historic dirt stake than an 11-horse synthetic field.

It's a testament to the randomness of synthetic racing, EVERYONE thought thought they had a chance to win so they entered anything they had in the barn.

A big run from Classy Class might make him a sneaky Derby longshot...
