Ask yourself the following : If this same race were being held in California at a 1st/Bet venue with a five horse field where others were "chased by the competition", would the same race have been downgraded?
Be honest. Yes, this is an east vs. west comment and falls at the doorstep of Rick Hammerle and the graded stakes committee. Jointly, they have shown themselves to be unable to handle the role in which they are placed.
On retrospection, perhaps this is how you showcase your skill set for the upcoming NYRA Steward Stand openings?
