There is just a lack of middle class horses(25 claimers to Allowance horses). There is a shitload of babies back there, 5-10k claimers, and then their stake horses that they ship other places.

We entered Colonel Klink in a 25nw2 race 6 times and it didn't get more then 5 horses, which is why we were forced into a IL nw1 that we are probably gonna scratch out of.

Look at Normanruth today, he has been ready for 20 days and we had to 'settle' for this spot. He is probably gonna run good but it is unreal they can't fill a nw1 route race on poly.

We'll see what happen next week with Churchill closing, although Ellis made is awful hard to leave KY given same purses as here and weaker competition.
