Once Again, The Cotillion Draws a Loaded Field
Over the years of covering races, I have had the pleasure of writing up the Cotillion on many different occasions. While you can always expect a $1,000.000 race that is six weeks before the BC to draw a loaded field, it always seems that the Cotillion takes that to another level and is especially competitive.
