I know we knew who was showing up for quite some time and I could have unleashed my onslaught prior to now but it is an absolute shame what the Blue Grass has become. 7 of the 9 entrants are eligible for a N1X. The field collectively has among it two allowance wins, 3 maiden wins, and a weak G3 on dirt.
Granted the last three or four runnings of the Blue Grass on dirt were a joke but this race is just laughable.
The Jenny Wiley is a terrific race, though, and at least that bails out the other three very forgettable stakes races.
