The Mother Goose Stakes

[whodey17]

I believe there are 10 Grade I's restricted for 3 year old fillies at 8 furlongs or longer on dirt and 9 Grade I's for 3 years old males at 8 furlongs or longer on dirt. I don't know if that is too many or too few or just right. I am leaning towards it being just right. That is less than one Grade 1 event a month. The Mother goose field is a blunder for sure, but there are many reasons why the field is so small and those have been pointed out in several posts. I really think that tracks need to work together to ensure quality fields and quality racing.
