7/23: Saratoga (Day 4; Evan Shipman)

Steve, I'm just wondering how is it that Glowing Praise in the 2nd has not raced for 2 years and is entered without a listed a workout? Is there any requirement to enter a horse off such a long layoff?

Nick - I literally just look at this race and noticed that like 30 seconds ago and was going to post the exact same question...lol

I thought they had to show a published work off a layoff > 6 months otherwise they get scratched by the stewards.

I thought the same thing, just stuck out to me as odd.

Andy answered this on twitter today. Apparently there were published works -- 6 in fact -- that must not have been in the Equibase system to make PP's.

Yeah they were not on the Brisnet Ultimate PP's. I was the one asking him but I had to assume he was refering to DRF forms since I know he uses Formulator.
