I am excited to see him race again anywhere. And hope he stays flat.

at the end of the day those insane miles at Pocono did take alot out of him.

Of course this would be like a qualifier etc etc.

So that would make sense.

He is good for the sport. Hope he gets right.

Nice. I hope he does well and races there.
One good thing about it being a 2 man stable. Richard Hans and CC is they are gonna basicly race close by here.

Ocean Downs and Chester are pretty easy for me to get to.

Whats the purse on that?

$500,000. David Miller won with MOMM last year. He beat Dejarmbro, Pastor Stephen and Broad Bahn.

It's the same base purse as the Beal, which he won, and the BC.
