Is that purse right?

Where else can one become a grade 1 winner beating less, I love grade 1 turf races but this is bad.

Why is this race being run in November? Before, it was after the Hollywood Derby in the middle of December, allowing for some 3yos to tackle elders and a marathon distance late in the year.

A horse like Paddy O'Prado (in retrospect he should have been in the BC Turf) or Winchester might have even showed up for it if there was an Eclipse Award at stake.
