The first saturday you have the Vanderbuilt/Go for Wand/Diana & Whitney. Then Sunday, its ends with the Jim Dandy. Its also embrassing to compare the Spa's solid/solid Allowance races, 3 year old dirt races and so competitive 2 year old Turf baby races. Obviously too each his own, but I'm not throwing away green paper on cheap claiming races, when I can bet 8 to 10 horse fields, with great wide open betting boards, with the best quality horses.

Totally agree on the racing. No one should waste their time debating this. BUT, I guarantee you will get excited if you go to the turf club on Friday afternoon. The 2 legged filly's are tremendous!!
