Looking for your thoughts about venue

[JolyB]

Thank you for your thoughts Cal. I'm disinclined to have a bunch of races from each track for a couple of reasons. I think that it just makes more work for our scorers and makes it more difficult for any ROI players who like multi race wagers. Also, the three hour time difference might make it more difficult for everyone to get the scratches for all races before posting picks. As to your last questions, if Belmont, I'd probably have a card of 9 races; if SA, it is almost impossible to do anything except play all 11 due to the placement of the stakes races on the card.

You're entirely correct about the Baffert factor; his horses are going to take a lot of money in the grade 1's. Then again, Chad Brown has 4 runners in the Intercontinental, fortunately all uncoupled.
