Two furlong Rocket Man Stakes
Two mile Bob Umphrey Turf Marathon
King George Wrong Way Stakes - to be run clockwise on the turf
AND
The World's Fastest Daily Double- a turf race and a dirt race to be ran simultaneously!

That is very cool and its nice to see some tracks thining out of the box. Maybe other tracks will follow suit.

Very cool. How much you wanna bet that's gonna confused the crap out of the old timers betting at the track!?! I'm also wondering how they'll post the odds for BOTH races running at the same time. Interesting.

Cool! I wish I could go. I have an awards dinner that night and wouldn't make it home in time if I spent the day at the track.
