These races have certainly lost a lost of luster. More or less a bunch of Calder horses and a few allowance horses shipping in. The Carry Back was a disgrace aside from the top 2.

Honestly I dont know. Maybe there are other races that have moved around on the schedule that are competing? I believe that calder used to put up some travel money for some of the shippers and perhaps they have cut that out as well?
