What a bore of a race. I hope to see Bagger Vance well into his 6 year old season.

It really is not a great way to get the meet going. I hope the Jim Dandy isn't a 5 horse field.

Do you think any 2yr old will scare the true competors off? I think is more of a managing the 2yr olds to not hinder there progression and to keep them sound. Like it or not the conections are all pointing to the 1st sat in may and now is the time they start laying the ground work. After they show the ability Graded earning get into the picture. More are ruined by jumping the gun too early than a careful approach.

This one probably did. I don't like horses running this year but The Sanford was won by Afleet Alex and he turned out ok.
