Fortunately the Jaipur and the Manhattan both have full fields and appear to be good betting races.
It may be tough to find much betting value in some of those races with small fields, no matter how good the horses who are running might be. Don't get me wrong. I love to watch talented horses running, but some of those Grade 1 races will be great races to watch but not so good for betting.
