Look at the prospective field. This race won't be setting up anything but a cheap G3 on the resume. At one mile on Donn weekend it would have drawn a very good field..
Not sure about that. The Swale was Donn Handicap day and it was quite frankly one of the worst 3 year old G2 fields I have seen at GP in quite some time. I don't see the argument that if the race was run a furlong and a half longer and lesser its grade status it will "draw a very good field" compared to the Swale.

No Derby contenders come back at 6.5 furlongs anymore. There were a bunch of horses in Mott and Zito's barns among others that would have been strongly considered for a one turn mile on Donn Day but had absolutely no interest in a 6.5 furlong race. The Holy Bull field would have dwarfed the Swale field.
