Several tracks could band together to create an alternate series.
Mid-April 9f Arkansas Derby @ Oaklawn Park
Mid-May 9.5f Super Derby @ Louisiana Downs
Mid-June 10f Haskell Invitational @ Monmouth Park
Why not? None of these tracks have connections with Churchill, Magna, or NYRA. OP & LaD have racino cash for purses. Keeneland, Parx, and other tracks are possibilities, too.
NBA was challenged by ABA. NFL was challenged by AFL, WFL, & USFL. Why not challenge Triple Crown? Jersey Derby caused ripple in 1985. Is it time for paradigm shift?
