TDN 3rd - Does trainer Tim Hamm likes his chances?
SUF 3rd---is this the weakest field you will find running for 50k?

It seems no one wants to bring their 2 year olds to Ohio, so Hamm is really in an amazing position with a barn full of runners.

He had 3 out of 4 in a race on 7/24 which they made non betting. The Suffolk race looks like much of the same. I know tracks love to cater to owners, but if they took the $50,000 for these purses and used it to run a promotion they would add much more than $50,000 to the bottom line.

Simply holding a few on-line tournaments where the winner earns an expense paid trip to compete for the $50,000 would get thousands more looking at the races at those tracks.
