I remember last year when Biancone started running a bunch there and I wondered if he was hard up for some quality horses or slipping down a notch, etc...

It just seems like it is really s hitty, and I'm not sure I would be thrilled about being up there if I were a trainer/owner.

It depends. The fall meet is pretty solid. No, its not CD or Kee, but its better than what Ellis runs. And December isn't too bad. But after New Year's, the quality really gets bad. Any decent horse in KY has shipped to either Florida, New Orleans or Oaklawn.
