Yeah OK, I'm from LA and I'm going to fly to Nashville with my buddies, drive the 60-70 minutes to KD to watch a 6-horse race? Or do these thousands of new league fans all live locally for the one whopping home race?

Like you, I could go on and on. But I'm tired.

What happens when 2 of the 6 are scratched.
Maybe they should look at racing $5K claimers. They are the only ones that start more than 5 times /year.
HK has full fields for most races but the majority are for what they call Class 5 which are really $5K claimers.
