Claiming Crown moved to Ellis for '07

[mnmark]

Canterbury was a great host for the claiming crown and it was actually a money loser for the track.They have always excelled at promoting the Claiming Crown. They even sceduled there biggest Stakes race of the meet The Lady canterbury on the same day this year. Every time that they have moved to a different track the attendence and handle have declined. I do believe for at least the Claiming Crown they should have a 7 PM post. That in in of itself would probably double the handle. No competition except for a few nighttime tracks on a Saturday night. run during the day and its TOGA Del Mar Arlington and about 10 other tracks that you are competing against for wagering dollars.
