:) It's no surprise that weather forecasters make terrible handicappers. However I think most of the prognosticators around here would do a much better job at the NWS than the posers they currently employ. AND I know for a fact we could come up with better names for storms... Harlan's Hurricane or Seabiscuit's Fury work for me.

Just a thought.

Santa Anita has a super card including the SA Handicap. I think adding the Tampa Bay Derby would be great, more interesting than the Gotham.

Funny you say that since I decided today on SA card plus a bonus race
But thought more players like/prefer Gotham over Tampa or Swale

Why do like Tampa better?

I dont personally care between the 3 but prefer to add the bonus
That more players prefer

Feedback welcome RE: Gotham - Tampa - Swale as Bonus?

My opinion. Just the Gotham.

CT, it's just my opinion, but I would only include one extra race, to give us an even dozen when coupled with that superb card at Santa Anita.

Of the choices you mentioned, I think that the Swale has the least interest - hard to believe that any serious Derby candidate would still be running 7 furlongs in March when so many qualifying points are available elsewhere (and might also lose Souper Colossal since he is cross entered in the Tampa Bay Derby and Rosario, his regular rider, is riding the Tampa card on Saturday). While good arguments can be made for both the Tampa Bay Derby and the Gotham, I personally think that the Gotham is a slightly more interesting race.

I was only adding one bonus
Just wasn't sure which of the 3
So asked for input of who prefers what

Plen liked Tampa
RQ liked Gotham
Etc

I don't care either way
Just have to decide on one

I understand. Ma Nature has played tricks on us here in the DFW area two ice/snow/sleet storms in the past 2 weeks. 4 inches here last night but it will be gone over the weekend and hopefully this is our last ugly taste of winter.
