The MassCap

You know it's a weak field when Evening Attire has a shot lol

Count me among those who thought Dr. Pleasure was going to be a good racehorse. I can admit I was wrong.

I believe he's exiting the Three in the Bag staggerfest from Test day at the Spa. I may go back and watch the replay right now just to remind myself what a terrible race I thought that was.

But for race that's been in limbo and held at a small claiming track that's actually not too too bad of a field. It'll get better in upcoming years.

Besides I LOVE Evening Attire. It's always great to watch him run.

I think the best thing to do with the MassCap would be to just do away with the race....but then bring it back.....and then do away with it again....but then bring it back for a couple of years......then do away with it once more.....and then.....well.....I guess, try bringing it back again.
I think all "big" races will be going to this system in the future, but only if they also go from 9f to 10f to 12f and then back to 9f like the MassCap. It makes for a great tradition.

Sort of like the Pim. Special

If Evening Attire runs back to AQU form,

WIN

Yeah sort of like that, but I don't think the Pimlico Special has ever taken off 2 or more years in a row. Those folks at Pimlico just don't get it (as usual). In order to make the entire racing world wait breathlessly to hear whether or not the race is going to be held that year, you have to take long breaks like the 2-year and 5-year breaks of the MassCap. That way the anticipation grows so great every year that racing fans around the world are absolutely beside themselves.
