I think even among degenerate horseplayers in the North ... those two are better known than the Baffert horses named after them.

The big guns are really scaring them off....
I believe Mr. Big was previously trained by John Shireffs. That would be an interesting footnote were he to somehow win.

I wonder why Baffert doesn't try to start Mythical Power and Viscount, too.

Yep.

But, a 7-year-old winning the Big Cap off of back to races where you miss the trifecta ticket in n2x alw races might be an even more interesting footnote.

I wonder what he's trying to accomplish, or if he's just making light of California's pathetic situation.

Is the mare St. Trinians somehow excluded if the race is oversuscribed?

No - I think the 14 horses with the highest weight assignments that enter get to run. I think the weights come out on Sunday. They can't keep her out.
