Ya know, I guess they burnt themselves out of 2YO races due to Sunday. It would be nice to have one or two solid 2YO MSWs and one would think BC Friday would be a day many high profile connections would be around and like to win a race. I think the 2YO Day is a novel sounding idea, but 7 or 8 full fields of maidens makes for a hard day and can have a negative and diluting effect on future cards. I credit them for a new idea, and am not saying it is a bad one, but the timing may have been poor in this year's case.
