Hey Oracle, this is for real. They would get true quality fields in the Preakness and Belmont. I think the field is still very strong in the Belmont but not as good as it could be if it was worth 3mill. Plus the last few years we haven't attracted the worlds best and thats what the TC should be a showcase for the worlds best not just for the US's best. Think about all the good 3 yo 1 1/2 turf horses in Europe and throught the world. They would of showed up for the Belmont if there was 3 mill up for grabs. The Japanese would never ship a horse over for a 1 mil race. They could make more running in Nx2 Allowance races at Sha Tin. They should of borrowed that extra mill for the BC juv fillies and put it tword the derby. If the fillies are really that good they can run aginst the boys for the 2 mill.
