I see two rides for Centeno. Same as Jeff Sanchez who should be getting two mounts a month vs two in the stakes set.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

That's just about the worst field of stakes races I've seen. Most of those horses couldn't win an overnight handicap on the turf at BEL (and that's being generous), let alone a Graded Stake.

Let's review:

there are a TON of good turf horses out there

GP chose not to card more than a handful of competitive races for them this winter (in fact, there have probably been more quality turf races at KEE than the entire meet at GP)

guess we just have to wait for BEL and SAR for some quality turf racing.

fat man,
What exactly is bad about these races? Full fields. Decent horses. Aside from the one race, they're listed stakes with big fields and big purses. What is wrong with that?
