Is this fair to the young horses at Batavia?

Listed here is how the bottom class is currently written.

You have young horses racing against seasoned horses with fast times to boot!

Thoughts and input please!

My first thought is that they are having trouble finding entries. I have seen some similarly weird races at Harrahs Philly with horse combinations that appear blatantly unfair, but they did not involve 2 year olds. Personally I would not be entering a 2 year old in this particular race.

I just looked at the race program from weds for race 9, there was no 2 yr olds racing in this race, the youngest in this race was 5 years old.

[Parked]

Very few 2 year olds in Western NY any more.

Sorry, youngest was 4 yrs old

Sorry, youngest was 4 yrs old

Probably a 4 year old n/w of 2 against aged horses.  Tough road to go if n/w of 2.

The condition also shows nw1 draw inside.

Stupid thread started by an idiot. Batavia has plenty of races for young horses.

GOOD MORNING LIL MIKEY,

Here we go again!

Please look at yourself in the mirror as far as who is an idiot.

Thanks for playing!
