Default Venue 5/14 Belmont Park

RYonker and I have decided to ship to Belmont Park on Saturday. The card features 4 stakes races among the 11. It is still being discussed whether Ruffian will be barred from race 7 as she may be privy to inside information (grin). Bring on that Grand Slam JB....I am sharpening pencils as we speak.

Oh boy - I think BEL will be offering an all graded stakes Grand Slam. You talked me into it, RQ.

Fortunately there are no offspring of either Storm Cat or Kitten's Joy in Race 7 - that would give one of our players too much of a swami edge.

Default Senseless?

MEOWZA!

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUERY
ON AN ISSUE I PERSONALLY FIND SENSELESS (AND WRONG!)

WHY WOULD THEY NAME A RACE FOR RUFFIAN
WHO TRAGICALLY DIED AS A 3 YEAR OLD FILLY
AND MAKE THE HONORARY RACE FOR F/M 4 YR +

SHE STILL REMAINS IN MEMORY
AS ONE OF THE ALL TIME BEST FILLYS ....

SO WHY NOT CREATE A RACE FOR 3 YR FILLYS? DUH

Probably just because no one really ever thought about it !!!! And that in itself is the real shame .... IMO... But it's nice to be remembered annually, though

BE CAUTIOUS When 'capping Saturday!!!! slight chance of rain early but likely by 3pm... Race 5 or 6 could start to be a factor for sure...

TIZ A BIT DISHEARTENING & SAD TO SEE SMALLER
FIELDS IN MAJOR STAKES AT BELMONT

ONLY 6 IN THE RUFFIAN S -- 8 IN OTHER ONE

YET I SEE FIELDS OF 12-14 -- PLUS AE AT OTHER
TRACKS ON WEEKDAYS!
NON-STAKES / LESS PURSE $$ / LARGE ENTRY

ANYONE HAVE A CLUE WHY BIG STAKES & PURSES
WOULD NOT DRAW MORE ENTRIES

YET NON-STAKES GET BIG FIELDS ON WEEKDAYS
AT OTHER TRACKS

INQUIRING MIND WANTS TO KNOW!
