Thanks.....I missed that they moved it back to it's original spot. Nice progression......1 1/8th to a mile to 1 1/8th. Whatever.

I understand the configuration screws things up....but they further screwed things up with the timing of the races and the distance moves. Why not make the Holy Bull a mile again and leave the FOY at 1 1/8th? They seem to do a good job of breaking things that were best left alone.
