If you had the chance to have an easy comeback race and make 150k, would you?

I think so...I haven't heard much is going down there but you will get some hard knocking 3 year old Illinois bred and some mid level horses, and then one nut horse.

yeah I was about to say...
dig 18 holes in your backyard & put up a big enough purse
somebody's going to show up
if the money's green, why not?
plus it gives the people of StL, Misery
a chance to see a bigtime racehorse in person
probably will torture the track record of going 9F in 2:55.11

agreed, it might be a steal for them and I fault no one for going after an easy payday.
