Personal preference. I have other tracks I prefer to play on Saturday during the day, factor in college football and my kid's volleyball and the Jackpot gets lost for me. When the Jackpot card was on Friday night, it fit perfectly with Friday night at The 'Wood.
Yes, move did shift bettor demographic from night players to day/weekend ones. This year DeD gets another benefit as CD is running twilight card. May push handle to another new record.

My biggest gain is that I get home before 1am!

Agree with that. Widest of all on the turn and still made up a lot of ground on the winner.

Sure did. But help me out here....when was the last time anyone that finished in the top 3 in the Jackpot came back as a 3 year old and made any noise on the Derby trail?

Since I've taken a beating today, I may just look into this tonight to help pass the time....
