the same logic may have applied to the pick 4 on a card where only 5 races are glamor. if they started it 1 race after the pick 6, a lot of casual fans (read: me) might have passed on the "just in case i'm a genius" lottery tickets in the pick 6 in favor of a bigger all bc pick 4.

i think they like the idea of more dumb money chasing the pick 6. can you imagine the cash dump saturday if there's a carryover? and even if there isn't, you know the friday pick 6 will be a headliner.

as a fan it sucks, but it probably makes sense from a bottom line perspective.
I'm fine without an all BC P5 assuming they run the BC Juvy Filly Turf first but I really wish they had a P4 ending with the Ladies Classic. If they are promoting that as the feature race then treat it as such.
