I assume the connections of Avonnova and Stuey declined the option to be an emergency for the race ?

It's flat out disrespectful that Avonnova in particular missed a start. Both him and Stuey deserved a place in the field ahead of Lenny, a case maybe for Restrepo marginally ahead of Stuey.

Brent, Lenny won't start 50's (only because of the draw) but he's no chance on what we saw last week.
