The Quillen always seems to have a problem attracting horses, but I believe this is the first year they didn

Must be nice to have a horse who can just show up and be guaranteed almost $11K

You'll never see 9/5 on Cheddar and he will be heavily favored.

1 - 3/5
2 - 9/5
3 - 15/1
4 - 6/1
5 - 15/1

With no Quillen elimination needed, three of the starters in that race are slated to go in the 50K open at Pocono on Saturday.

Actual odds:

2 -   1.70
3-  38.50

Pretty good if I say so myself. 

Really hoping both Cheddar and Foiled make it to Balmoral in November

  And you called the winner to me as well. Man is We Will See a big disappointment this year.

This is the sort of race we need to get the big bettors back on the harness racing bandwagon:

$3.00 win price on Cheddar
$1 exacta--$1.70
$1 tri--$7.50
$1 super--$14.90
.10 super--$1.49

Short fields in big stakes seem to be the trend. The slot states , required to gbe the money away often go the route of the big stakes. As a fan , I would rather see cheaper series with a nice Final purse for local horses and horsemen. Bettors have a chance to follow particular horses over a few weeks. Instead out of staters come in and grab the cash and the fans essentially get a non betting race.
