I read the same thing in at least one article. I thought it was absurd. This was in no way a strong field. This was a very weak Handicap division this year. Comparing this year to recent years, there were no Ghostzappers, Roses In Mays, Pleasantly Perfects, Invasors, Curlins, Bernardinis, Invasors, Saint Liams, etc. this year.
