Has the Tremont Stakes been cancelled it was supposed to be run on Sunday?
The Astoria is run Saturday.

WELL EXCUSE ME!!!!!!!
BELMONT PARK?
Over the years, the Tremont has been won by some of the great names in Thoroughbred racing such as U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductees Man o' War, Sarazen, Buckpasser, Foolish Pleasure, and Alydar.

A traditional summer race for 2yo's, and it doesn't fill...smh.
Perhaps they'll move it to the fall, or maybe added at the Spa?

Previously the complaints were that too many 2YOs were being placed into competitive races too early into the season (spring, early summer MSWs) which resulted in them not being able to compete once they fully developed (4, 5, 6 .. year olds).
It's my recollection that only two 2YO races have been held in NY so far (which IMHO is a good thing), and one of them was a Statebred Turf Sprint. So now the complaint is that a "prestigious" early-summer 2YO Stakes races won't fill.

I saw on the @Derbycontenders feed that the race didn't initially fill but will be rescheduled for June 20.

People may not realize this, but there hasn't been a Tremont run since 2008. Same as the Astoria. They were bringing back this year as overnights to try to get 2yo racing going again. Just not happening for whatever reason. Contrast to 2yo racing in Europe which will have full field Group events going next week.

Interesting really...horses with a good 2yo foundation seem to be much more durable and have longer careers.

Tremont and Astoria
I hope the Tremont does go on the 20th, if that is the rescheduling plan. Martin Panza is definitely trying to lure fresh runners to the NYRA tracks, outside of the usual circuits (for example, the Stars and Stripes day card). It can only be beneficial for racing in general if he is successful.

I think the 2 yr old in training sales could be messing things up. They push these horses to go a fast 1/8th of a mile in Feb - April, and the better ones are sold for huge profits to Repoli, Dogwood, Westpoint, Pletcher's, Baffs, etc and put on the shelf to heal up from the push. They tend to show up at Belmont's Fall meeting or the end of Saratoga.
Back in the good old days, horses were purchased in September, broke and put in light training similar to what Wes Ward does to capitalize on the races at Royal Ascot.

Todd Pletcher started a trend. There are 2 first-time starters in re-drawn, rescheduled 5-horse $100K Tremont Stakes to be run at BE Friday.
