Despite the smallish fields for the graded stakes, the Belmont card is by far the most relevant. 4 of those stakes races are part of the BC Challenge series - interestingly enough, the QEII isn't, perhaps because in the past, the timing has just been too tight between that race and the BC F&M Turf.

RQ,congrats on your points win, and I look forward to your selection. Anything you pick is fine with me [I checked to make sure Kamloops wasn't running before saying that]

OK All. Here's the venue choice which I'll post by 3PM eastern time. Chime in if you have a preference. Races 1 to 10 at Belmont and the QEII or the full 11 race card at Belmont and no QEII.

Race 11 is for 2 year old New York bred fillies sprinting on the turf. All but two of them have never run before. Sure looks like a guessing game to me - I'd be happier not having to try to figure it out.

The venue for Saturday will be races 1 through 10 at Belmont and the Queen Elizabeth II from Keeneland added in as the last race of our contest. If Joly or Don would post the threads it would be appreciated since they both have better penmanship than me.

RQ, you had me laughing out loud over your "better penmanship" comment. Throughout elementary school, penmanship was always my lowest grade [let's not get into the "works and plays well with others" grade if you don't mind]. I'm a lefty, and like many leftys write with my hand upside down, thereby always smearing the ink all over the page and the side of my hand. Despite that serious flaw, I'm glad to post the threads for Saturday's contest.
