Ugh....
First of all,the Mother Goose never should of been downgraded to a Grade 2. Just take a look at 3 of the last 8 winners of the race: 2009: Rachel Alexandra. 2013: Close Hatches. 2014: Untapable. They blew that one.... I guess I get the Wood,for some reason that race hasn't produced......strange. The Blue Grass is gonna sting,that's flat out breeding country....... They'll be scrambling over @ Keenland to get the race back up to a Grade 1. Don't forget,the Blue Grass was downgraded to a Grade 2 for pretty much the entire decade of the 90's. The question is........how do the Wood/Blue Grass get bumped back up ? Both Keenland/NYRA have money to use, if that's the way they want to approach it to attract top runners. A race sequential bonus{BC/Triple Crown race} might do the trick,or a 50% (or more) purse hike will surely thicken up the quality of the fields. |
