where do you rank this past b cup?

The weather in NJ made me think of 2002 at Arlington and all the whining and complaining about the cold. I would move that day up based upon conditions and fields we just saw. I think it was better attended, the turf was superb and you got a few prices on the day ( Valponi!)

Moving BC day, cancelling and going the next day, etc. -- while desirable -- it is just extremely difficult and not very feasible.

Sure, if conditions were truly dangerous, there would be no questions.

I'd take light rain and 68 degrees to Belmont's 2005 weather every time, even though my seats were not under cover.

Sunday was bright, clear, and with the whipping wind, rather cold. It would have been parka weather last Sunday at Monmouth. I was there on Saturday in shorts.

LOL. A fine example of where you and I are from. You were in shorts and I had three layers on. I took it down to two layers when the sun came out.

The 10 cent superfecta hurt the larger payoffs in those pools.

I see no evidence for that. The results were on the predictable side which is why there were no really large payouts.

This is a trendy opinion but I agree with Jim that there's no evidence for it. . .

OK your right and I'm wrong, but I saw alot of gezzers playing and cashing $2.40 tickets. I know they were not going to play $24 to catch the same winner.

do you also think all the geezers playing $2 to win hurt the win payoffs?

The super pool for the classic was over $2.5 million and paid out over 2000 to 1. Anyone that had it for a dime and collected $214 should be thrilled.
