Much like many watch old timers day at Yankee Stadium. I think it offers an opportunity to draw folks in a bit. Aqueduct is doing something as well. Meager tho it is. They are offering free parking and no increase for club house admission. It is a start and I like that folks are starting to think of marketing angles. Belmont's openning day with free admission was great and should be done daily.

I wasn't decrying the concept of the Legends race, I think it's cool. I was being perplexed at the idea that this race would somehow be more ripe for a longshot winner than any other.

One minor thing though.. Please stop calling this a blog. It's a message board.
