This one's all on Monmouth. This is the race they scheduled for Big Brown in September 2008 and have since run it in June as a UN prep. Between this and the Colonial Turf Cup next week for 500k the division is spread so thin, hence a Naipaul Chetterpaul entry.

To add insult to injury, Courageous Cat, entered for the Poker, may scratch to run in a race in California instead.
