Another embarassing 5 horse field. I find it funny that people can still defend this **** product that they are giving us.

NYRA approves uncoupling of entries

By David Grening
In a change that should give handle a significant boost, the New York State Racing and Wagering Board on Wednesday approved a rule that would uncouple same-trainer, different-owner entries in all races at state tracks.
The rule goes into effect on July 14, the date the next state registry is published. That should allow the New York Racing Association to uncouple entries as early as closing weekend of the Belmont meet. Certainly, the rule will be in place when Saratoga opens on July 23. Currently, multiple horses trained by the same trainer but owned by different parties must be coupled and run as one betting interest.

They ended up with three horses in this race last year.

I don't see what there is to defend. Aren't the Racetracks/Racing secretaries at the mercy of the horseman ?

What more can they do to promote the race other than offering a large purse and Grade 1 status ?

A race where any of five horses can legitimately win makes for a very good betting race. If they had managed to add a few more no hope types, would that have made the race any better?

There's quality and balance in this group.

How many more were needed exactly and where were they supposed to come from? It is a Gr. I and one of the most important soph filly events of the year... That other horses didn't care to go up against these is their problem, not the racing departments...


Here were the 17 nominees. Most are running elsewhere or just ran. The 4 that have 'no excuse' for not running are MDN winners only:

MUCH REJOICING: Regrouping after poor Acorn; ALW likely, Prioress possible..
SILVER LA BELLE: Uncertain..
STATION HILL: Uncertain..
TIZAHIT: Uncertain..


Recently ran/Going elsewhere:

CHAMPAGNE D'ORO: Waiting for the Prioress..
BLIND LUCK: Waiting for the DEL Oaks..
BELLE OF THE HALL: Just won a sprint stake at PHA..
BONNIE BLUE FLAG: Won the Cinemine May 31..
EMBUR'S SONG: 3rd in the WO Oaks June 13..
HAVRE DE GRACE: 2nd in the Go for Wand June 6..


In the Iowa Oaks:

QUIET TEMPER Mark H. Stanley Dale L. Romans b.f.3
SEEKING THE TITLE Charles E. Fipke Dallas Stewart b.f.3


In the Mother Goose:

KATY NOW Mill House Todd A. Pletcher dk b/.f.3
CONNIE AND MICHAEL Brooklyn Boyz Stables Kenneth G. McPeek b.f.3
DEVIL MAY CARE Glencrest Farm Todd A. Pletcher b.f.3
AILALEA Starlight Partners Todd A. Pletcher b.f.3
BIOFUEL Brereton C. Jones Reade Baker b.f.3
