Congrats on another very nice win Zippy. You have been on a roll lately. Hope that carries over for you into the Belmont at Saratoga contest.

I did want to raise a question for you concerning this Saturday. The card for the Belmont stakes is impressive and long. The first race is off at 10:45 AM Eastern, and race 14 goes to post at 8:02 PM. Do we have the stamina for the entire card, or do we want to play some smaller portion of it? Fortunately, the 9 graded stakes are concentrated in the middle of the card, bookended by non-stakes races before and after. I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.

Thanks JolyB!!! My first thought was to play races 1-12 ending on the Belmont. But then I thought of the players out west which would make it really early for them. So I would like to start with race 4 through race 12. All stakes races. Race 4 starts at 12:31 EST. Thanks you!!!
