Thanks for posting everyone!
What I've learned so far is:

1) We all pretty much love Breeders Cup (x viscount26)
2) We all pretty much don't love Preakness (x me and Tanner12oz)
3) We all must get to the Pooncarie Cup! (thanks Magic Idol):)

I loved the Breeders Cup. I have attended 11 of them, having it at Santa Anita 6 out of 8 years isn't cutting it for me.

saratogadew 10-25-2014 08:02 PM

I can see your point. I guess I just want the best chance of good weather on the greatest betting day. I don't want a repeat of Monmouth. I think Keeneland will be good on tv but much too crowded live.

I'm a 10 plus year preakness vet..how could I not love it. Keeneland spring opening day, Travers day, Belmont, queens plate honorable mentions...the new Belmont super day could move it into the top 5
