Default Southwest NOT a scored race

Just got this from RTTR:

No, the Southwest will not be a scoring race. It was not included on the published schedule when it was originally scheduled to be run last weekend, and at this point it would not be fair to add it since many people have already selected their stables.

But what if Mike W from Kentucky should enter, or is he just a poly specialist?

He's a poly quarter horse sprint specialist.

Whenever you have a field of over 1,500 people and only have 10 races to work with - it's like "they're off, and here's the wire"

A 2nd, 4th, and 54th place finish would have translated to like a 20 length victory if it was a single 30 race contest instead of 3 different ten race ones.

So basically what you are saying is that you have tactical speed too and are able to rate going long?

I see myself as someone who's best distance is 25 miles. Thus the longer and more tedious a grind the contest is .. the better for me.

With that said ... even I will be secretly rooting against myself since no money is involved. It's fun watching the cocky lose.
