Default 🏇 Venue 9/3 = Saratoga 🏇

The Thrill Of Winning ��
Then Comes With A Chore
Of Deciding A Venue
That Most Will Adore ��

Sometimes That Choice
Is So Hard To Decide
With 2 Different Options
Of Where Next To Ride ��

I’ve Mewsed + I’ve Pondered
Until I Felt Queasy
So I Finally Decided
To Make The Day Easy

It’s Saratoga Only
The Full Card To Play
Will Leave Ole Del Mar
For Some Other Day

Ruffian, this is all very cute (but rather silly) but you took us around the barn and back again, which was totally unecessary and quite bothersome, at least to me. I caved in on the two venue stakes only card and decided to go with it as an exception to the unwritten rule but now you've changed your my mind again. I should have said NOPE pick one or the other . . . so I added to the "dilemma" as you put it. So now you've embarrassed me and yourself. Wont happen again.

In the future if you happen to win points and have a split minded proposal abouth any venue, please send a PM to me so we can spare everyone else this tiresome pondering, OK. If you need to respond to this post . . . how about a simple, "OK" or if you must rhyme, how about "OK, go take on the day".

Thank you.

PS - I'm going to exercise my Administrator's right, which I don't think I've ever done unilaterally before, and say we are changing the card to 11 races, ending with the Jockey Club Gold Cup . . . keeping Plenilune's scoring in mind. The last wo races are easily dismissed. I'll put the threads up sometime between now and bed time.

DON
What I tried to do at first ~
Ask Players opinions on which track was preferred
And offered up the IDEA 💡 of an ALL STAKES DAY
Even Knowing …. YOU would probably veto it

As the Winner, I didn’t have to ask anybody’s opinion
I didn’t have to offer up an idea for a response

💥 After reading Joly‘s commentary about the time zones ⏰
And possible issues for players because of that
I actually made the decision Based on an EASIER day for all the players!

I guess it really is true

NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED 😼

So lets continue here, are you proposing a 9 race card 3-11? And Cal, we are not playing the whole card . . . except for that, the debate continues I guess.

1. Or I could say, lets just call it bye week.
2. Or I could say, Y'all put it up for a real vote.
3. Or I could say, whatever Ruffian decides.
4. Or I could say, someone else decide.

But I won't. Pick one . . . but y'all are missing my point and that's OK.
