Bit:

I am not sure about the whole notion of a "negative key race" based on the subsequent performances of runners, but will note that only one runner in the Remsen, No Dozing, was a multiple winner.

So you had a 300k, Grade II stake where 9 of 10 starters were eligible for a NW2LT condition.

That being said, I will be plunking a few drachmas on Tale of Silence, a full bro to Tale of Ekati, assuming I can get double digit odds.

If Tapwrit wins impressively it sets up an interesting scenario because neither TAP nor Tapit have enjoyed much Derby success.
