Venue 5/28 Opinions ?

[RUFFIAN]

VENUE OPINIONS WANTED

SANTA ANITA HAS 5 STAKES
THE ISSUE IS TINY FIELDS = 6–5–6–6–7

So With Our Points System
A Scratch or 2 Could Result In A NO Score Race in Points 😔

Therefore My Choice Shifted To

A ) BELMONT = Larger Fields, 1 Turf Stakes ( $100,00 ) with 13 Entries

B ) MONMOUTH = Decent Size Fields, 1 Turf Stakes ($100,000 ) 12 Entries

THEREFORE I POSE THE QUESTION OF = YOUR PREFERENCE 😏

Ya Can’t Please All The Peeps All The Time
But Maybe 🤔 Majority Opinions May Help 👌

Friday and Saturday around here 60% chance of storms. Not saying it's going to rain. Just throwing out the possibility of scratches.

“… Friday and Saturday around here 60% chance of storms.”

WHERE SPECIFICALLY IS “ Around Here “ ?
New York or New Jersey

Question Is = PREFERENCE A OR B

[Real Quiet]

No odds yet but you have to like the Overbrook Stake at Hawthorne. # 9 Cat Attack

[Real Quiet]

I'm close to Monmouth and Belmont. It's been fairly dry here so I don't know if rain would affect anything. Doesn't appear to be all day rain so both tracks should be safe. If I had to vote I'd go with Monmouth cause of the MTO's at Belmont.

In addition to the small fields, those stakes races at Santa Anita are restricted to Cal bred or Cal sired runners.

In my opinion the quality of the entire card at Belmont is simply better than the one at Monmouth.

I TEND TO AGREE
WHICH I WHY I HAD ALMOST DEFINITELY DECIDED ON BELMONT

BUT OPTED TO ASK FOR OTHER OPINIONS FIRST
SO MORE PEEPS WOULD BE HAPPIER

UNFORTUNATELY BOTH TRACKS SHOW HIGH RAIN %

MOTHER NATURE BEING ORNERY

DRF already showing numerous scratches at Monmouth, I guess in anticipation of the rain. Belmont probably the better pick, but Churchill is also an option, but there may be a prediction of rain there too. I don't know about that.

[JolyB]

Scattered thunderstorms could also mean that they will be scattered through the NYC area but not necessarily over Belmont Park. The Belmont turf courses are fairly good at absorbing water, so a rain shower won't always lead to an off the turf situation. Then again, I'm an incorrigible optimist.

Anyway, pick the venue you like and we'll play it. Aren't we handicappers supposed to be flexible enough to cope with any situation that might arise?

NOPE = FORECAST IS SUNNY
