Venue 7/23 = Question Poll

B R3 to R12

Bet you coulda saw that coming Ruff.....but it's still the whole card in the ROI

[JolyB]

Since we are offered a vote, I'll vote for B [Races 3-12]

My reason is twofold - I dislike the way that many tracks shamelessly monetize their big race days by adding an exhausting number of races onto their card. Monmouth wants to keep their fans running to the windows and then the ATM machines from noon until 6:49 PM. For our group, I think we do this for enjoyment, and with a 14 race card it can become a chore rather than an enjoyable event for players and scorers alike.

Ruff, thank you for putting the question up for a vote, even if it keeps some of us from remaining nameless. Best of luck for a repeat at the Jersey Shore.

"B" for me. I'll gladly go with the herd. You are right Joly. I've played in the Haskell Challenge several times and it's just plain grueling to handicap 14 races; however, I couldn't find the Challenge this year. I guess they've either done away with it or I didn't know where to look.

Cal, the Haskell Challenge is being offered again this year. Here's a link to the contest site.

Good luck and lots of extra strength to any who compete. I might try it myself, although I never done very well in the past. With no cap in WPS payoffs, you have to hit all of the bombs of the day to have a chance.

Thanks for that Joly. I may or may not give it a try. I too have never done very well in it.

And a $20 admission fee to top it off.

Wow. I haven't been there in a few years, but I think admission to Oaklawn is free even on Arkansas Derby Day and if you get there early enough parking is only $2. However, some of the private residences across from the track may charge as much as $20 to park on their lawn. Reserve seating $4.50 on Saturdays and I think half that on weekdays.

There are some advantages to living in Redneckia.
