I intended the above to be a serious question.
In recent years, many tracks have added more and more races to their cards on big race days, probably driving patrons to the ATM's several times during the day. We have generally tried to avoid that trend by deleting some races from our contest program either at the beginning or the end of the card, especially when they don't have any particular significance in and of themselves.
This has primarily been to shield our scorers from the additional burden of lots of extra races. Their tasks are time consuming enough as it is. For those contestants who take the time to find and download pp's and then handicap each of the contest races, the additional time commitment also becomes burdensome.
The points winner does have the privilege and responsibility of selecting the following week's venue, so you are entirely within your bounds to pick your lucky number of races if you choose. I only hope that this will not become the norm.
