I agree but this isn't really a race that will appeal to alot of the folks here on the blog. No offense to anyone at all. But the intent here isn't to offer handicapping opportunities, etc. or appeal to the handicappers. It is a step in the right direction to appeal to those that are fans of the game, over and above the handicapping. Or may be intrigued by watching an old timers race. Much like many watch old timers day at Yankee Stadium. I think it offers an opportunity to draw folks in a bit. Aqueduct is doing something as well. Meager tho it is. They are offering free parking and no increase for club house admission. It is a start and I like that folks are starting to think of marketing angles. Belmont's openning day with free admission was great and should be done daily.
