Really turned out to be a shit race.
Sure, we'll get a gaggle of excuses for the track condition, the long wait, and all that garbage, but the reality is that a front-runner got out of the gate and put this field to bed in 2 strides in a 9F race.
And behind him, a 1 turn sprint/closer put the rest away.
The entire rest of this field belongs in overnight stakes races at smaller venues...., but as our older male division sits, they are still supposed 'contenders'.
Not gonna lie, the old war horse/bridesmaid Hoppertunity is starting to look better by the day if West Coast and Accelerate aren't able to run come November.
