Bown's next two races are worth millions to the owners. Why would they give it away by trying to beat a horse they know they cannot beat?
How is the next race worth millions to them? When an non graded turf stakes race doesn't mean much, unless they have something in the contract where if they win a 500k turf stakes they get so-so. I understand what winning the BCC does? but this turf race is garbage
