You have to take in a lot of factors. Are they part of a real circut (SA-H'wood-DM, BEL-AQ-SAR, etc...) are they a lone outpost (Portland Meadows for example, unless you consider Yakima as part of the circut

)

Not trying to hijack the htread, but most everyone has forgotten more since Sunday about this sport we love than I might ever learn, but I think it could be an niteresting discussion.

Remember, not that many years ago, there were a lot more tracks - even just up here in New England where I am from - Suffolk, Rockingham (T'breds), Lincoln, Narragansett, Green Mountain and that does nto take in that from many parts of NE you can get to BEL, AQ, or SAR in less than 1 hour.

Thanks for yout thoughts, I am sure I will feel stupid for asking before too long

I suppose the overall quality of the racing makes it an A or B or C ... But in a handicapping sense it doesnt really matter what the quality of horse is if you are cashing.
