That's an awful lot of money for so few entrants. No one wanted to take a shot at a nice purse?

Maybe if the distance wasn't 12 furlongs - they would have.

Hence the "take a shot" part.

Doesn't Todd Pletcher have 2 or 3 marathoners he runs in races like the Brooklyn? Nite Light and a couple others. IIRC, he also was pointing a couple for the Suburban that he ended up not running.

Whatever, this pseudo-marathon division is a joke anyways. Both BC winners were absolutely atrocious and are really hard to even put in the Grade/Group 3 category.

He did.

It's more an industry thing I guess. But if I owned an allowance horse right now, I'd be tempted to take a shot in a race like this.
