Thanks JB. I knew there must be a reason and I couldn't figure it out. I guess they want to keep a majority of the purses in Maryland. It will make handicapping the card much harder with so many AE's.

I always like a challenge Plen. If we can handicap Kamloops we can handicap anywhere.

For all of the grief that we gave Forego for selecting Kamloops, I have to confess that it was an enjoyable change of pace (in hindsight anyway). Look how much it has given us to laugh about over the years.

One of these weekends that have no clear choices and don't have any races with Derby or BC prep implications, I am sorely tempted, if I ever have the choice, to select some equally absurd venue just for the fun of it. Well, probably not Kamloops, but something that we would never otherwise consider.

You guys behave.
Just hope I don't win when Tampa Bay Downs is open on a Saturday when the closest they get to a stakes is a $10,000 AOC for nonwinners of 2 lifetime. But they might find 7 different MdnClaimers ranging from 8,000 to 15,000. And all the horses have 6 or more trail the fields in their record.
Then you can complain. Though I do admit Kamloops has cooler weather.
