Pretty much the field we were supposed to get for the Mother Goose.

Definitely some talented fillies lined up, but hard to endorse as a featured race on national TV (NBC 5pm-6pm).

I don't know why that is. It's got the Oaks and Black-Eyed Susan winners, both of which got national TV exposure in the spring. Would a matchup of Tizway and Morning Line really jazz up the audience more?

I really like the moving of this race to Saratoga. Small but select field... Hopefully they finish in a photo and they all go the Alabama.

I was mostly referring to the 5 horse field. No matter how you slice it, it's a tough race to get excited about from a wagering point of view. At least it's part of the late PK4.
