To clarify previous comments

I only mention Kentucky in relation to MILTON
Due to The weather channel
Mentioning Kentucky in relation
To the extended trajectory possibilities

I was only trying to be helpful and sharing that info

Kentucky pennies
Clarification of my comment
was referring only to scorekeepers scoring Comtests

It has nothing to do with the
Racetrack tellers or players there

Ruff, you are asking for opinions, but it is still ultimately your call to make as the points winner. Either Belmont or Keeneland would be an equally good choice.

The most interesting race on either card to me is the Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup at Keeneland. While there is only 1 Grade 1 winner in the field, many have won other graded stakes in the US and Canada or Group races in Europe. All 10 bring credentials that would make them competitive.

Ok here are a couple of things that may or may not help you in making your decision. There is little time differential in Keeneland and Belmont at the Big A. Belmont starts at 12:10 ET. Keeneland starts at 1:00 ET. Keeneland has 10 races. Belmont has 11. I know that you seem to have a preference for Maiden races. There are 3 at Belmont and 4 at Keeneland. The first one at Belmont is in Race 5 and the first one at Keeneland is in Race 2.

I am thinking that whichever track you pick will be acceptable to most or all of us or maybe a compromise might be acceptable to the score keepers where we add a race like the QEII from Keeneland to the Belmont card. After all, we played 3 tracks last week and the sky refused to fall.

I myself prefer one track except for special circumstances and this doesn't look like one. Personally I wouldn't play the QEII.
