I couldn't agree with you more on this. I actually already made plans to play golf on BC Saturday and will work on "Ladies" day.

Very disappointing what this event has become, I doubt this is what John Gaines had in mind when came up with the "Championship" concept. Do we really need a turf sprint championship or dirt marathon? I originally said I wouldn't even make any wagers this year after they watered down the races so much and moved the ladies races to Friday, but I'll probably end up betting at least a little. It will be significantly less than I wagered last year.

It will be interesting to see what the total handle is this year compared to the last two years. I know it was down last year due to the weather we'll see what happens this year with the economy.

Oh and by the way when will the "Dirt Mile" actually be contested at a mile on the dirt?

OK I'll step down from my soap box now.
