Same juicy purses as last year. Hope the fields will be as full as last year.

Hopefully, full fields for all the races. That's what made last year's meet so enjoyable. With big purses and and a condition coming up once or twice a book, everyone had to run, and the Pletchers and Frankels couldn't sit in the barn and wait for a spot to come up where their horse was odds-on. Having full fields in the two-turn races last year was particularly encouraging.

I wonder what impact the issues at Calder and Churchill will have on the meet, particularly given the size of the purses here.

Pletcher, who is he, does he train anymore?

The Calder purses are absolutely terrible and the CD's aren't much either. Both states better get there she'at together or PID will become the Mecca of racing..And we all know what that means

Imagine having horses that injuries don't go away the next morning like everybody else. Hay and oats are a bitch baby.

Seriously evidentually Pletcher will be Pletcher again just in the form of a Mott. Great trainer who always will be great just not dominating every dam stake.
