Tomorrow at Del Mar, Peter Miller sends out highly touted Drink the Wind, who showed speed and faded badly in his debut.
Then on Labor Day, Chad Brown brings back Consumer Spending, who just missed in her debut. Mark Casse also brings back for his second start, On Thin Ice, who won his debut down at Gulfstream. He will be stepping up to stakes company in the Kentucky Downs Juvenile Turf. I hope MTR stays hot!

I hadn’t noticed that. He was scratched out of a race this week for the same reason. What’s up with that?

I don't know, Keeping the field to 10 entrants, they might be trying to fill with
firsters first , and of course the turf races have MTO.
Darn good Question !

Educate me. How does the process work, relative to who gets to be in the main field, and who ends up as "also eligibles"? Is it first come, first serve?

Its suppose to be the way it's written up by the Track Secretary following
guidelines he can make with his legal power. With 2's I noticed some are written
to fill with those Racing In $45,000 or less first as an example.
heres one race 7 Saratoga:
Purse $100,000. (up To $17,400 Nysbfoa) For Maidens, Two Years Old. Weight, 119 Lbs. (Non-Starters For A Claiming Price Of $40,000 Or Less In The Last 3 Starts Preferred). Seven Furlongs.
