All those scratches seemed a bit inexplicable. I get trainers not wanting to race on a bad surface, but the main track was fast and the turf was good. Maybe it was the heat? Noticed that they were thoroughly wetting many horses down and some with water hoses so I think heat would be a likely explanation. I didn't listen to the analysts so might have gotten an explanation if I had. I kept thinking that Smile Happy might get scratched. Never seen one that they practically had to back into the gate. It was exhausting watching the outriders trying to get him where he needed to be.
