CT, if you are considering adding a bonus race to next week's contest, perhaps you could give some thought to either the Gotham from Aqueduct and/or the Tampa Bay Derby. Both are 50 point qualifying races on the road to the Derby, and a simo might dovetail nicely into the San Felipe on the Santa Anita card, also a 50 pointer.
Just a thought.

I had considered Gotham but the NE weather has caused so many cancellations lately that I figure better to wait to see what Mother Nature brings yes the Tampa race also good option if the rain goes away soon Per EP post - Tampa was really bad today Thanks for the input I will be checking weather and fields for Gotham - Tampa - Swale but pretty sure SA will be main card

My only suggestion would be to not post a venue on a Monday. It can't hurt to wait until the entries come out and at least have a closer look at the weather forecast. I use http://www.equidaily.com/bestbet/weather.html It gives a 10 day forecast for each track and btw Gulfstreams calls for a chance of showers Thursday thru Monday next week.

Good link for track weather - Thanks I did say I was waiting to check weather and the cards for Gotham, Swale, And Tampa before deciding I also know that those 10 day ahead forecasts often change so what we see Today may be better or worse by Wednesday or Thursday so be assured that I won't be posting on Monday

I live within 30 miles of Aqueduct. If we get a foot and a half of snow by Saturday you better show up with a shovel !

Actually was now leaning to doing AQU as main card with maybe bonus of San Felipe - or Tampa and/or Swale The future forecast had looked ok for AQU on Saturday per that weather link - but I had no knowledge about a foot of snow? What do you think since you know area / track maintenance and I don't -- about the odds of track ok for AQU Saturday? Your input appreciated before we get another Cancellation Will check the fields before deciding on any bonus race

Plenilune:
"Santa Anita has a super card including the SA Handicap. I think adding the Tampa Bay Derby would be great, more interesting than the Gotham." Funny you say that since I decided today on SA card plus a bonus race But thought more players like/prefer Gotham over Tampa or Swale Why do like Tampa better? I dont personally care between the 3 but prefer to add the bonus That more players prefer Feedback welcome RE: Gotham - Tampa - Swale as Bonus?

CT, it's just my opinion, but I would only include one extra race, to give us an even dozen when coupled with that superb card at Santa Anita.
Of the choices you mentioned, I think that the Swale has the least interest - hard to believe that any serious Derby candidate would still be running 7 furlongs in March when so many qualifying points are available elsewhere (and might also lose Souper Colossal since he is cross entered in the Tampa Bay Derby and Rosario, his regular rider, is riding the Tampa card on Saturday). While good arguments can be made for both the Tampa Bay Derby and the Gotham, I personally think that the Gotham is a slightly more interesting race.
