You control what gets upgraded and which races are downgraded.
What's your first order of business? What needs to be changed immediately? |
The major tracks would only be permitted to hold live racing on Friday through Monday, with no more than 10 races per day. Each of those tracks would be equipped with lights so they can race at night on occasion. The remaining tracks would only be permitted to race on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, with no limit on the number of races they can card on those days.
No stakes race worth more than $200,000 would be scheduled to take place within one week of a stakes race with the same conditions held at another track located within 2,000 miles. Same conditions defined as for the same age and sex, and over the same surface at a distance within 2 furlongs.
The graded stakes system would be revamped, with stakes graded no earlier than 12 months after they are run. The graded stakes committee would be co-chaired by Jerry Brown and DrugS.
