Pretty bad for a Saturday at Saratoga!!

I knew it was a matter of time before someone complained. Predictable. Take a look at the previous weekends at the meet. You write the races for the horses you have and can fill - they may have pushed a bit hard the first few weeks, but given that this is the only weekend without a G1, maybe it's a bit of a sacrifice. Surely we can make it through...

I'll take a "bad" Saturday, which I contend it actually isn't, over a good day just about anywhere else.

It's not a good card, but you run into these kinds of situations mid-meet when it's too soon for horses to run back.

Let's complain equally about Del Mar then. 10 races

2 MSW
2 MCL
1 Statebred Optional Claimer
1 Optional Claimer
1 32,000 Claimer
1 16,000 Claimer
1 8,000 Claimer
1 G2 Stakes race

Doesn't look a whole lot different does it? I guess unless all the races are oversubscribed G1s no one can make any money.....

Its too soon for the 5 trainers who have all the good horses to run back...
