Short fields on Saturday
 

Wow...

Beldame- 6
Flower Bowl- 7
Vosburgh- 5
Joe Hirsch- 6 (Rabbit doesnt count)
Jockey Club- 4

Huge on talent but the wagering is not going to be all that great unless you absolutely love somebody.

Not a great wagering day...but heck, if you absolutely love somebody, there are other places to show the "love" besides the track, if ya know what I mean.

Yes, I picked a bad Weekend to make a come back, maybe find something earlier in the card and watch the rest...

Worst BC Prep Card I have ever seen at Big Sandy in along time

OHH Lava Man is gonna half to race aginst JOKERMO & Super Slow if he don't win by atleast 4 or 5 his stock goes down

I've looked at every race in the last hour. Sadly I agree. Fun to see the big boys in certain races. But the fields sure used to be bigger in these.

Reminds me of the awful Travers Day cards the last 2 years.

So much for getting a good price on War Front. My guess is something like this:

Henny Hughes- 6/5
Silver Train 2/1
War Front- 2/1
Whos the Cowboy- 8/1
Attilas Storm- 12/1

Even worse? This is actually a pretty good field. Much better than the JCGC.

Tons of talent that is for sure. But it is a sad state of affairs when a Grade I gets 4 horses.

Lava Man will win by 5 and people on here will say he beat nothing. Same old song and dance. Gets pretty tired after a while. If this horse was based on the east coast, he'd be the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I see Fleet Indian is going out. We'll see what kind of horse she is without an easy lead. Unless I see the White Mercedes pulling up next to her barn, I am betting against her with both fists. :rolleyes:

Whats funny, just an observation, is I don't see any 4 horse field Graded Stakes races at a poly track this weekend. Just an observation, I am neither for or against hint hint Oracle, Euro etc......

Come to think of it, many a Graded Stakes race in New York this year has had very small fields.

Just my observation, no need to attack.

I'd take 4 horse fields at Belmont over 12 horse fields on the polycrap any day of the week. Why not just run indoors while we're at it. Throw in Mike Battaglia's voice and I'd rather eat Mcdonalds hamburgers all day.

I love to eat a Big Mac every now and then, no love for their milkshakes either?

Your kidding right? Mcdonalds shouldnt have the right to call those things milkshakes. Far and away the worst I have ever had. But I do like their sundaes and for $1, you cant beat them. Last week I was so depressed I went to Mcdonalds for lunch and ordered 2 supersize order of fries and 3 hot fudge sundaes.

Get used to poly. It will eventually be everywhere. It saves horses and it saves a ton in veterinary bills. Poly might get us back to when horses raced more than 7-8x a year and should make for great field sizes.

Funny, I like to do this once a week. I go to MsDonalds and get a Big Mac and a Shake, then go to Wendy's and order a large fry.
