Don, some rain is expected for this weekend, but it doesn't look like a washout.

Ruff has suggested that we play Penn National, and I agree that it's a good choice. The entries came out today, and there are number of jockeys and trainers on the card whom you would not normally find at Penn National. The $500,000 Grade 2 Penn Mile drew a pretty solid field of three year old turf horses with entries from Pletcher, Clement, Maker, Matz, Weaver and others.

The only issue I see would be whether to play the entire 11 race card, or to be kind to our hard working scorers and stop after the featured 9th race, skipping the 10th (a $15,000 maiden claimer) and the 11th (a $4,000 claimer for horses who have not won a race in 6 months). I'm leaning toward the 9 race program, but Ruff and I would be guided by your wisdom.
