I just don't see the same popularity when it is...

Maryland
Golden Gate
Lone Star
Remington
Thistly

I am really surprised that Churchill hasn't gone down that route yet considering they could do Churchill/Arlington/Calder for 2.5 months.

I'd be all over that.

Yep, me too, but that would mean Churchill would be 'taking' someone else's idea so I don't see it happening....maybe it is, I don't know.

This discussion has led me to ask another relevant question.
With the popularity of the Magna 5, why does it seem that the NTRA discontinued many, if not all, of the National Pk4 wagers that used to take place on big weekends in the summer and fall?

If there were, I completely missed them. Either they're not promoting them or I'm not looking in the right places.
I remember in past years, they always had one on Arlington Million day with the Million, Secretariat, the Sword Dancer,etc...
