LACK of DIVERSITY FURTHER DEADENS and ALREADY DEAD AQU meet

[Linny]

I'd like more at 9f but they have carded several 12f races and the configuation limits them to 6f for sprints. I'm not crazy about 5 1/2 f on dirt. It's a tough time of year to put together a card. I think they've done a decent job. Remember, short sprints (5, 5.5f) are harder on horses because they go faster and cheap horses don't hold up to that. Because of this horsemen don't like them unless they have a specialist at the distance.
