Venue Dec.9th ?
 
I was thinking the Fair Grounds. If there are any other suggestions please reply. Even though it's all state breds the other stake racing is slim. If so I was thinking races 1 to 12 but you can use race 13 in the ROI. I'll post the venue Thursday after any responses are made.

I don't envy you the choice, RQ. There simply aren't any really good ones this Saturday. I agree that the Louisiana Champions Day at the Fair Grounds is probably the best available, after all, every horse is a state bred somewhere.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Your suggestion of limiting the points contest to races 1-12 makes good sense.

By the way, I noticed a runner named Fort Polk in race 9. Seeing that name could bring back dark memories to anyone who was of draftable age in the late 60's.

Looks Like the Belmont Stakes will be at Saratoga for the next two years. At a mile and a quarter. Going to be strange.

Can you imagine how crowded the Spa might be if a Triple Crown is on the line?

Belmont could handle 120,000 fans. At Saratoga they would have to restrict attendance.
