I'm not upper management, more like the guy who takes out the trash but it's ok with me. As long as you can keep it to the stake races. If a race is included in the points contest I can ROI score any race that goes with it such as a pick 3 4 or 5 or a Grand Slam. Just my two cent opinion.

IN MY OPINION….

YOUR SCORING EVERY WEEK
WITH CLEVER INSIGHTFUL COMMENTARY…
TO ME IS” UPPER MANAGEMENT “ :)

AS FOR TAKIN OUT THE TRASH … :eek:

U CAN COME OVER AND TAKE MINE OUT ANYTIME
THEN COME BACK IN TO SHARE COFFEE + CATNIP :{>:

Let me cogitate on this for awhile (I may need a blade of grass to chew on to help me think). I do like RQ's idea of ROI wagers only on the Stakes race card. That would give us a 7 race card for points and ROI. And there's Breeders Cup awards on many if not all of them. Lets see if anyone else has any thoughts. Although we have said before "no more split venues" but this may be an exception.

MEOW 😻 DON QUIXOTE ~ MASTER OF ALL

Instead Of Grass Chewing ..
I Woukd Share My Catnip :{>:

Since BOTH TRACKS Have Supurr Sensational Stakes ( Hold The Tabasco )

I thought it might be worthy of Supurr Saturday Split Scenario 😸

💥 But, Since the cards are not up yet ~~~
~~~ we don’t know if the Del Mar races have very small fields 😾
~~~~~ ( seems to be the custom out there) :(
~~~~~~~~~~That may make the decision easier

Sometimes something makes an “ Exception To Rule “ More Palatable 🙏

🏇 Once we see the Del Mar card and field sizes 🏇
💥 If they are decent ~ I really would 💜 to do = STAKES DAY

My opinion is an all stakes card. As for the ROI I can score all the races at both tracks if you like but keep the Stake races for the points contest.

There is one drawback to the all stakes card that you might want to consider. The difference in time zones makes getting scratches before posting final picks difficult.

Post time for the Saranac is 1:43 Eastern. I presume that would be our deadline for entries. However, post time for the first Del Mar race isn't until 4:00 PM Eastern (1:00 Pacific). I don't play Del Mar often enough to know whether they will have their scratches posted by 10:43 AM Pacific, or whether our players would have enough time to change their points and especially ROI picks once Del Mar picks are posted if any key horses are scratched.

The good news is that while three of the Del Mar stakes are turf races, the likelihood of stakes races coming off of the turf in the usually sunny Del Mar weather are pretty remote.

Not trying to throw cold water on your all stakes contest, but wanted to point out a practical consideration.

JB, I see you point about post times and scratches but you know thats why we have two alternate picks :) I like the all stakes card. If we're looking at two tracks lets make them all stakes for points only and if RQ says OK to ROI wagers on any races on either track OK by me, limited to 4 wagers though :D

I'll make this official tomorrow. Got a busy morning so it will be afternoon.

DON

I decided to keep it simple and go with only Saratoga
~~~~~~~ I posted the Venue

It was a tough decision between the two tracks :eek:
