Invitations are at the handicappers discretion and while merit rating will weigh heavily, the likely improvement among 3 year olds at this time of the year will also come into consideration. We’re pleased we’re sitting here and not in the office of the Chairman of the Handicapping liaison committee, Vee Moodley.
