I wasn't aware of the incident Thursday, but I did see they abandoned the Sunday All Grass Late Pick 4 which was wildly popular last year (at least is was with me ).

As with all Magna owned tracks, it seems to be one step forward and two steps back.

I'm obviously biased because it was the brainchild of a very good friend of mine (the all-turf Pick 4 that is) but it's just a further example of a Magna/MID track not getting it.

I tried to move the All Turf P4 over to our quarterhorse meet here at Louisiana Downs starting Saturday, but the grass is dormant. Bummer!

I'm pretty sure that was only towards the end of the meet ( March + ) after a lot of the larger outfits shipped out.

We started it in mid-February or so.

The larger outfits start the mass exodus right around Fla. Derby, or as the joke goes, when the first condition book for Keeneland comes out.
