Looks like nice card. See you there!
It may be marketing genius, but I have yet to play the card on Saturday. I played several consecutive years when it was on a Friday night.

Personal preference. I have other tracks I prefer to play on Saturday during the day, factor in college football and my kid's volleyball and the Jackpot gets lost for me. When the Jackpot card was on Friday night, it fit perfectly with Friday night at The 'Wood.

Yes, move did shift bettor demographic from night players to day/weekend ones. This year DeD gets another benefit as CD is running twilight card. May push handle to another new record.

My biggest gain is that I get home before 1am!

Agree with that. Widest of all on the turn and still made up a lot of ground on the winner.
