He hasn't raced on the flat since last year's running so however the eligibility is determined he's unlikely to beat out horses with recency.
You'd think they'd have saved a spot for a 2x winner of the race. Have the vaunted "black and cherry red" of the Phipps family ever graced the paddock at Charles Town?

Charles Town has been around since the 30's, and at some point it wasn't a moribund, backwoods, bull ring...right?
Anyway, I stayed at the inn they built a couple years ago last July right after the casino was opened, and the Borgata it is not. Still, thanks to the insanity that is the state of Maryland, Charles Town is by far the casino with closest table games to the DC metro area. Where else would one stay around there? Closest "nice" hotel is probably the Landsdowne and that is a good 45 minutes away.

Quote:
Pletcher actually won stake there two years ago. Zito brought Commentator there. I think that was probably the most notable horse although Awesome Gem has carved out a name for himself. Three turns for 9 furlongs. Breaking from the outside, Game On Dude will have to be some kind of horse to win against this field. A lot of speed in here.
