How are horses selected for races?
How are horses selected for races?
You take last night's SD Handicap. For a $150k pot, only 6 horses were entered, and 2 of the people involved had 2 horses in the race. How does that even work? Same with other G3-G1 races. People like Bob Baffert or Steven Asmussen get multiple picks, while other people who would no doubt love a piece of that pie, seemingly get shut out.
For normal races too, how do they select the horses? Do they really select rules like a maiden, $10k level way ahead of time or do they just see who is available or something else?
