just a comment about some of your last wks shows steve. bob fox had some great archive races. when you talk about getting more people in the game, i believe a good anouncer is worth it's wieght in gold. one of the worst is bataglia from turfway. i'm amazed how some of them keep their jobs. a good call can really make the difference of someone coming back or not

Trainer Larry Jones said from Keeneland Tuesday that Hard Spun is "probable" for the Blue Grass but that he was keeping all options open ... those include training right up to the Derby or bypassing it all together and pointing for the Preakness.

Just wanted to say thanks for keeping this Prep Fields thread updated, Steve. It's a very handy resource!

Hey "Alaska Downs" could run their dates when there's a few hours of daylight available. Definitely fun to make adjustments for that track huh? There's some permafrost somewhere right? Build the track in Fairbanks and the times will be lightning fast.
