Yippee!! 4 horse field for a Graded Stakes.

I had a feeling when I saw the list of nominations, this race would be very light on the entries as many of the nominations had recently run.

Oh well ... If American Act can make a turn in this one, he should win easily ... It's just a 2 horse race really.

Smart of Baffert to put Gun Boat in here and Mandella to put Boompa ... They're practically guaranteed to get a Graded Stakes placing ... Since only 1 horse doesn't. Yuck!
