I'm thinking my home track... Indiana downs... average temperature in nov. is about 50. We don't have a grandstand... but we do have several very nice benches and a playground for the kids. The apron can hold at least 1k people. The track is similar in composition to asphalt, but that makes for fast times. Plus, if the breeders cup comes... all the horses that normally run in nov. can go back to their day jobs of plowing fields for the next year.

It's a win win for all

Supposedly Calder had a big chance, but now those wusses at the BC are worried that Kirk Zadie is going to be walking around all weekend calling people derogatory names and threating to make them disappear.

Ranger, do plan a visit to toga. I've been to a fair amount of tracks and nothing compares to that place. It's just something about the atmosphere that makes it unlike anywhere else.

Now that's a solid argument for the BC to consider!

Also, our track records are so slow that every winning horse will set the track record at that distance. Imagine what a good p.r. firm can do with that. ....
