As for the "two-at-once" races, I thonk it's a terrible idea. They'll have to add to the gate crew(s), use two starters and I have no idea how they will use the patrol cameras. And what happens of a horse gets loose in the post parade ?

Love Calder's innovation. It likely will go well. But I'd rather not see them do this.

I love the 2 mile race. I think we should race longer distances in America. I would love to get rid of the 1 1/8 and 1 1/16 mile distance. I would like to see this.

5 furlong
5.5 furlongs
6 furlongs
6.5 furlongs
7.5 furlongs
1 mile
1 1/4 miles
2 miles

These are the distance I would love to see.
