For places like 'Toga and Del Mar, I agree.

But for like Canterbury and Prairie Meadows, where the summer is so short anyway, a 3 month racing season is pretty good for those tracks. CBY opens up on Derby Day, and it's kinda a sign that summer is finally coming. So yeah, it's good for some places, but too long for others.

It would be a little tough to say alternate a meet between CBY, and Prairie, and if you even wanna throw Arlington in the mix you could too. Why? Because eventhough there are some comparable level races at the 3 tracks (in the lower level claiming ranks n'stuff), the calibur of horse at Prairie is a lil bit better than Canterbury. And the calibur of horse at Arlington is a lil bit better than Prairie. But it would probably make for some nice field sizes... I'm just wondering if the talent level would be too unbalanced. That... and I don't think Prairie Meadows has a turf course lol.
