I once asked Terry Meyocks about six years ago if he would consider a two week break in racing at the conclusion of the inner track meeting which used to occur in mid March. It made some sense because there wasn't the full contingent of Florida shippers returning yet. Turf racing certainly is out of the question until later in April, and the winter warriors who have been knocking heads the last four months on the inner are just about spent. Meyocks was running the show at that time, and totally agreed with the concept but said that between the state legislators and the local horsemen, he would never get away with a reduction in racing dates.

That being said, can we at least get away from six furlong racing for a while? Your right Linny, between wed and thurs there are nine races carded at 6 panels. At the very least, its time for some variety in that condition book.
