I like the dirt mile. It’s usually a good betting race with competitive fields. It’s last ten runnings won by only two favorites(Lians Map and Goldencents). We all know that it’s not the same caliber as the classic or sprint, but for one it gives horses, that people want to see, a chance to show up and be cheered by the crowd. Mine That Bird, Shackleford , Pants on Fire, Golden Ticket; these wouldn’t have a shot in the other races. Some people might say they shouldn't be there but this is entertainment, isn't it?
