Nominatons for the upcoming Levy Series at Yonkers are off 17% from 2014, while Matchmaker nominations are down a whopping 41%. There were 39 mares
nominated to this series last year, but only 23 were staked for the 2015
edition.
The situation is similar to what is happening in the
Petticoat and Sagamore Hill Series at Yonkers. In 2014 the first leg of the
former featured five divisions consisting of 37 fillies and mares, while this
year there were only two divisions of seven each.
The Sagamore Hill started out with eight splits involving 63
horses on opening night last year, while there were only five splits involving
38 starters this year.
The Meadowlands has already cancelled the Artistic Vision,
Giant Victory and Ima Lula due to lack of interest.
