Venue for July 2 . . . no brainer

[JolyB]

As we have seen all too frequently, the major stakes races have the smallest fields - the Fleur de Lis has only 5 and the Stephen Foster has drawn 7. But they both have quality fields. The other races on the card all have decent sized fields, perhaps because trainers want to get one more race into their horses at Churchill, before Kentucky racing moves to Ellis Park, lovingly called the Pea Patch.
