Venue April 7???

[DonGuido]

Hmmmm, a lot of food for thought served up by The Professor. This student will just have to digest the plate and then go with what my wife Patty will propose, and after similar thoughts from JB she'll go with "whatever you decide Don". I'll have it by the end of today.

As an added note the 10 day forecast for both Keenland and Aqueduct show a good chance of rain and or snow in the 1 to 3 inch range. Keenland also forecasts rain for Friday.

[RUFFIAN]

Based upon the weather report for both New York rain and snow
Kentucky rain and snow

Here are the options to Mews upon

1) ALL 3 YEAR OLD STAKES (Only) OF SA---AQU---KY

*** 2) ALL SA WITH BONUS WOOD, BLUEGRASS
I think this idea may be the better option based upon the weather reports

I spoke with the racing office at Keeneland yesterday and he said even with the snow
They would not cancel with the exception of lightning

PS:
I could live without the WOOD
But Not Without The Bluegrass

[DonGuido]

If we are just doing a couple from two other tracks besides a main one, that gives us three tracks to track (done it before). But I'd rather do all stakes on three tracks as noted:

OPTION 1 - (10 races all stakes)
Aqua:
1. Carter
2. Gazelle
3. Wood

Keene:
4. Ashland
5. Commonwealth
6. Madison
7. Shakertown
8. Bulegrass

SA:
9. SA Derby
10. SA Oaks

or . . .

OPTION 2 - (12 races)
Keene: Races 1-10
SA Derby
SA Oaks

Comments? Plenilune, please chime in.

Considering the weather forecast for Kentucky...
I would prefer ALL Santa Anita with a bonus of the BLUEGRASS

Rather than all of Kentucky plus the Santa Anita Derby and oaks

JMHO

But if the choice is ONLY what Don posted....

I would opt for the second choice of Keeneland
and the Santa Anita Derby and Oaks

I think the weather in New York is going to be the worst of all
And I don't care as much for the races there

I like option 1.

Option 1 it is, since I was leaning that way also but didn't want it to drive Plen crazy when scoring. Nothing against you Ruffian for sure but I'll post the official threads tomorrow. Thanks folks for chiming in!!!

BTW, the race order for us could be interesting but I'll try and make is simple.

[RUFFIAN]

Aqua:
1. Carter ===> R8: 4:44 PM EDT

2. Gazelle===> R6: *** 3:38 PM EDT ***

3. Wood
