Thanks to the efforts of the Breeders’ Cup and Philly Park, Evening Attire, at age 10, has found a new lease on life and is dashing around the track like a sprightly youngster, relishing every one of those 12 furlongs. The New York Racing Association must be commended as well for having the foresight and sense to move the transient and ever-changing Brooklyn Handicap to early June and making it a 1 1/2-mile race, providing our long-winded friends a chance to win a prestigious and historical grade II race. They also have carded a couple of 1 1/2-mile overnight stakes as well – the Wagon Limit and Fit to Fight.

Now if I can only convince or beg NYRA to put up a long race at Saratoga.
