We added a couple of stakes prior to the Bargain Bowl this year in this division it was the Bargain El Joven.
CT's Flash won by a length
Key Party was second almost 6 lengths ahead of
Al Centaine who finished 3rd 6 and 3/4 lengths from the winner.
Calderon was 4th.
I am not sure what to do distance wise here. I started out the races at a mile but reduced the distance to 7f in recent years mainly because i thought that made the field a little more competitive. The thinking was at 7f the sprinters would not necessarily dominate, and route runners would have a shot running late. Sometimes with juvys in routes we see races like the El Joven where the top two are way clear of the rest of the field.
Because it has been on the web site all year at 7f I am keeping the race at 7f for this year but I think this will change in the future. Feel free to comment or give your opinion on the matter.
