Nothing here.
We don't understand the designation of this race as Contest Race in the slightest:
It's not the feature race, nor a classy race, nor the one with the highest number of entrants... it is however, the one LEAST likely to produce a large price-- it has the least number of ML double digit longshots(ONE...barely qualifying @ 10-1) as well as the LOWEST ML longest shot.
Whudda thunk it? To choose from they had one of DelMar's staples: G2 Eddie Read Handicap...but at seven entrants-- if they wanted a still classy race but with a larger field, they had the 100K Fleet Treat Stakes. And if what they wanted was a large(est) field, then there were FOUR other races with more entrants: 10 each.
We can't think of a less-desirable contest race. You can't even say,"Well, it's Sunday-- how about a race early in the card?" As there are more qualifying earlier races.
You could've blindfolded us with the proverbial hat pin in hand and come up with a better choice.
Edit: just realized $200 in refunds didn't go through the past couple of races.... so we're on a fast road to nowhere ourselves..
