Keeneland Moves the Bluegrass Back to 4 Weeks Out

[Soaring Softly]

Keeneland has re-scheduled the Bluegrass on the calendar to be run the same day as the Wood Memorial and the Santa Anita Derby.

I remember when, back before the Wood was moved back to its current position, the NTRA used to run a National Pick 3 with the Wood, the Bluegrass, and the Arky. As I recall, that was a pretty popular bet, nation-wide.

I'm wonder if, with this move by Keeneland, they might consider staging the same thing again using the Wood, Bluegraass, and Santa Anita Derby.

I for one would love that. I hope they at least think about it.

I agree. The national Pick 3 and Pick 4 and even the Mana Pick 5 were great bets and often times would pay very well. I would love if they bring that back.

I miss this one. Had a blast playing it each week during the cold months.....

With them capping ticket sales to the BC this day will be far more crowded

Moving it up a week will also make no difference at all crowd-wise. Blue Grass day is packed no matter what, and it'd be hard to imagine the weather being better and the crowd being larger than it was this year.
