Those are good points Mall, thanks.

I check back in the entries on Also Eligibles and others that scratch (sometimes a few times) to see the difference between what they were scratched from and what they actually end up running for, and sometimes you see something.

I'm also aware that there is what's called a "stuck list" with horses that trainers want to scratch but can't. At least that's how it was described to me by a guy who used to look at this alleged list in the racing secretary's office (this was at Aqueduct). HP
