Hard to blame anyone decent for not wanting to run against Commentator in a rich ungraded stake at a time in the calender where so many graded stakes with comically weak fields and rich Graded races are going to be run for 3yos and up going long on the dirt over the next 3 or 4 weeks.
Hopefully something goes on a suicide mission and takes it to Commentator early. He's struggled tremendously with pressure in the past - but it doesn't mean he always will.
A horse like Fabulous Strike was the king on numbers with no pressure last year - but struggled with it - until he answered the question in a huge way in the Vosburgh at 9/2.
