The problem is that every year the older horse division seems to get thinner and thinner and thus these Grade 1s get fields of mediocrities. It isn't like last year's Suburban was a good field either.
To be honest, I much prefer a competitive race, like last year's running and perhaps this year's, to a pretty uncompetitive field save one horse, like Mineshaft's win. And, at least they are a slightly higher grade of mediocrity that the co-featured Mother Goose is attracting.
