Excellent point. Not only that Steve, but also when you front end load a day, or a weekend, you tend to fall victim to getting light on the back end. Common problem. At the same time, we are deep in the meet. That too can have an effect, as well as other, nearby tracks. Monmouth has apparently seen a spike in stall requests since going full time, but I don't think the field size has seen it yet.

Pletcher/Velazquez have Lacadena in the 7th. Fast work coming in, last may just have been a warmup for this horse's real calling, on grass

Iron Curtain, in the 8th, lost to Cannonball in the fall, otherwise trounced competition in other grass race Hope for the 3-1 to stay intact

Int he 9th, one of my favorite angles turns up with Elusive Moment. Horse gets a positive trainer switch who immediately tries the horse on grass, attracts Gomez as jockey
