Yeah they run the greys at Calder on Freakshow Day or whatever they call it. They have the aforementioned 2 races at once, a race for 5yoandup (The Methusalah, i'm not kidding), a wrongway race, a 2 furlong race.

Man we could have FOUR days of racing with male and female versions of all of those!!!!!!!

You left out the most important "race within a race" where they paid based on the leader at the 1/2 mile pole.

I have cashed every time they have offered that race.

Knew I was forgetting one. As I recall they had terrible rain this year. Had to reschedule and then the weather was pretty rotten the second day, too. If I recall the same horse one both "halves" of that race within a race.

While they are at it they should add a race for horses with a mystery equipment change, to be announced during the post parade.

There is certainly no shortage of preps for this one.

I think it obvious that they did it this year so Indian Blessing could pull off the Distaff (or whatever it is called now) - Classic double.
They knew the only thing standing in her way was the fact that the races were on the same day.
Now she should have no problem winning both races easily.


I must admit, as a confirmed hater of the BC, I rather enjoy watching it implode in this manner.

Maybe Golden Man can win 2 BC races this year.
