Thank you R.Q. To the surprise of no one, we'll be remaining at Oaklawn for Arkansas Derbies Day [that is if Cal doesn't mind the continued company].

The only question is how much of an extremely full card to play. Right now, I'm thinking of starting around Race 5 and having a contest with 10 very full fields. That will give us "only" 133 entrants to consider [actually 132 since the scratch of Fast Enough has already been announced].

JB you sure are warming up, as you always do in the Spring, accumulating those back-to-backs. I'm considering double points for the Ark Derby, since we always have this bonus starting with the real Derby. After all, it is the first Saturday in May!!!

Wooo, I might have to start handicapping again, if you did that. Problem is, I don't know whether I want to choose the venue in the following week considering the cornucopia of places to go!!
