That is a good point Bigs. The 1989 Classic had only 8 starters and a couple of big 3yos, kind of like this year. Anybody know if that race turned out to be a memorable one?
Now, clearly nobody in this race is in the same league as Sunday Silence and Easy Goer, but a small field doesn't have to mean a bad race.

It's a great race as it is , but I would prefer 12 or 13 horses to bet on.

Would much prefer to see Student Council , Sun King, Diamond Stripes, Gotcha Gold/Grasshopper/Going Ballistic as well.

Slightly better odds and a super pays a lot more if one of the "deadweight" horses sucks up for 4th.

Encourage a full field at the expense of having each contender be a true win candidate.

I think a handicapper's dream would be if it were this Classic field + Lava Man + The Green Monkey
