Actually Don we could skip the first two races, both Maidens.

So lets continue here, are you proposing a 9 race card 3-11? And Cal, we are not playing the whole card . . . except for that, the debate continues I guess.

1. Or I could say, lets just call it bye week.
2. Or I could say, Y'all put it up for a real vote.
3. Or I could say, whatever Ruffian decides.
4. Or I could say, someone else decide.

But I won't. Pick one . . . but y'all are missing my point and that's OK.

I HANDICAPPED the entire card so it really doesn't matter to me. In the ROI it doesn't matter how many races you use. If I screw up it doesn't matter if we play one race or 13. It's just a long day for our point scorer so no Ruff. We don't need any bonus races.

I don't normally speak up about which card to play. But WHEW! This whole craziness makes me .

How about KY Downs, all turf racing? I mean, who wouldn't want to handicap a race with Janis Joplin running? Ok, ok, J/K, kind of.

The only thing I will say is that I'm sad we haven't played Del Mar, yet, my hometown track. Maybe later in the season we'll get a chance at it.

Y'all know I'm good with whatever track is chosen. Go with the flow.

Almost bedtime, and I promised. This should strike a chord with all who have chimed in, even last weeks Points winner, Ruffian. Since this is such a diplomatic group, I'm proposing, no making a decision as follows. Well, maybe not, all. OK the threads will be up shortly(relatively speaking) or at least by morning. Sorry RQ we're not playing the whole card, which also answers Cal's question. Ohhhh, the suspense of it all?

JolyB is reading all of this back and forth verbage (staying neutral) and just smiling sitting in his easy chair, with an occasional head scratch, I'm sure

And I hope we never go down this slippery slope again while I'm still around.

You're right. Perhaps just should have gone with stakes races from both tracks, enough said. We've done it before. Let that be the choice. I don't believe anyone would have had an issue with that choice and if they did they can just opt out that week. No big deal.
