So wait until the Hollywood meet or Santa Anita meet. Besides, I wouldn't run a dog on that Del Mar track......
BTW, when was his first race back since his layoff?

I just have a tough time fathoming how there can be so many easy races for 3yos with huge purses at all these tracks throughout the midwest and east coast and more decent horses aren't shipping in for them.

I have had the same question myself. I guess alot of it has to do the the grade of the race. Anymore, owners seem to be more concerned with graded stakes (gr. 1s) than the purses, because it's the grade of the race that makes the difference in the breeding shed rather than amount of money won, it seems.
