Dave makes great points. The draw has already been moved up in recent years to Monday. Was it necessary to pressure dozens of runners into decisions to make travel plans easier on a handful of others?

Dave is spot on. Why bother with "pre-entries" 10 days out when "final entry" decisions must be made 36 hours later?

It is particularly ridiculous in Beholder's case since she won a Win and Your In for BOTH races. Of course, there are other flaws with the whole Win and Your In notion as well....

Funny we were just talking about this yesterday and I had not seen the article yet, I think this rule is going to benefit us this year.

For whatever it's worth I thought Isotherm ran pretty well on the dirt first time out at Saratoga. He moved a little early and was wide. This juvy field is not the best ever going in, the chalks are not that fast and don't overwhelm you. I think its fair to say green point crusader moved up on the sloppy track, check out his family!! Point being if Isotherm goes in the dirt race I'll give him a chance and definitely use him in some capacity.
