Speaking directly as part owner of a couple of 3yo NY Breds, at least the Stallion Stakes series is a MUST. This year the fields were markedly weaker that the comprable overnight stake fare, and they run for 150K instead of 75K. Complete no brainer.

Thanks friends.

Though I personally always nominate mine to the BC and any statebred programs, I could see a guy with a really cheap horse passing on the BC. I mean if your foal is only worth $1000 there is not much reason to spend the $500

Well tx all. Placing a couple more 00 ( = $100,000) on the back of that foal estimate means goin for the nominations.
