I couldn't agree with you more on this. I actually already made plans to play golf on BC Saturday and will work on "Ladies" day.
Very disappointing what this event has become, I doubt this is what John Gaines had in mind when came up with the "Championship" concept. Do we really need a turf sprint championship or dirt marathon? I originally said I wouldn't even make any wagers this year after they watered down the races so much and moved the ladies races to Friday, but I'll probably end up betting at least a little. It will be significantly less than I wagered last year.
It will be interesting to see what the total handle is this year compared to the last two years. I know it was down last year due to the weather we'll see what happens this year with the economy.
Oh and by the way when will the "
Dirt Mile" actually be contested at a
mile on the
dirt?
OK I'll step down from my soap box now.
