It also is a lot less classy at 1 mile than 1 3/16ths.
There are too few graded races around classic distance as it is. Going from 9.5 to this glorified sprint is pretty disappointing.

Less classy? Really? A legit prep towards the Met Mile is less classy than the famed and storied 9.5f Gulfstream Park Handicap? What race would you rather have... A plod-fest with a handful of nowhere-else-to-go 7 year olds, or a one turn mile that happens to fit nicely into the run-up towards the Metropolitan with some horses still capable of career form mode? In point of fact, there is a lot more potential and probable public interest in an expanded series of winter to spring races that culminate with the Met Mile than in a hackneyed mile and three sixteenths crawlathon. (And P.S., as it happens, there are plenty of the "BC Marathon" preps that pick up the slack for this treasured "division" later in the year...)

Does Candle Maker have a shot in the HereComestheBride? I think this was the Tapit filly that broke her maiden in her first start after breaking slowly......
I'm really looking forward to the GP Handicap - he has a bad post, but I want to see if Cool Coal Man can continue to move forward off of his sharp 4 year old debut some weeks back. I'm also interested to see how Formidable does (I like him a lot), but I admit - I've only got eyes for CCM in this race. I hope the track is going to be fast.....

I happen to be against any trend in shortening up the classic distance in general. I usually pass anything less than a mile if it isn't top class or a vulnerable favorite. For me, a true gradeI 10 furlong race is the aesthetic highpoint of the game.

One of the most hilarious things I've read all spring was that McPeek was planning to take Dream Empress to the English Oaks. That would have been very, very ugly.
She's not even the best turf filly in his barn and will almost certainly be overbet in here. NT
