Yeah but much smaller

The horses you mentioned will have a whole lot better chance at the mile paying 50k to enter to run for 2 mill than they would paying 125k to run for 5 mill with almost no chance to hit the board.

Any Given Saturday scratches and Diamond Stripes to the mile? That sounds about right.

I knew there has been method in my madness in thinking that Hard Spun could get it soft on the lead and be away and gone. If Pino rides a proper race he could catch the others napping with the shorter stratch at Monmouth. Even DaHoss is sort of coming round to this now!!

Hard Spun was a cracking bet at 20/1 last week. Why didn't i take it.

Hard Spun / AGS for me. Curlin closing far to late into third.

Street Sense doesn't hit the board.

That is a good point Bigs. The 1989 Classic had only 8 starters and a couple of big 3yos, kind of like this year. Anybody know if that race turned out to be a memorable one?
Now, clearly nobody in this race is in the same league as Sunday Silence and Easy Goer, but a small field doesn't have to mean a bad race.
