Really like what the folks in Nawlin's have been doing with this race the last several years Phantom.
1. Move to 9.5F
2. Moving back on the calendar
I think the results have been more than fruitful, sans Kingsbarns and crew last year.
A good test for trainers/connections to see if their horse can get 10F, and with 6 weeks rest I feel it will be more popular as time moves on.
It isn't like Epicenter in 2022 and Hot Rod Charlie in 2021 embarrassed themselves on the Triple Crown trail.
