ODDS & ENTRIES

Interesting field - every horse in the race is an E or E/P runner - 3 are E8s. I think I'd have to take Lugan Knight, at least he's shown he can run a little faster at the end than the others.

THE LOST JEROME PARK RACETRACK IN THE BRONX

The Jerome Park Racetrack, once described as the “national race course of America,”
was a thoroughbred horse racing facility from 1866 until 1894 in that part of Westchester County
that was annexed into the Bronx in 1874. There is nearly no trace of this once esteemed track
that hosted the Belmont Stakes for over two decades...
