Makes a lot of sense for Oaklawn... eve of the Arkansas Derby... now it's the biggest weekend Hot Springs has ever seen.

It's not perfect, but it's better than no match-up at all.

They won't have both the Arkansas Derby and Apple on the same day, won't happen. Cant say that I'd blame Cella for not wanting to do it either. The man is going to make the biggest race in racing happen, let him do it the way he wishes. I wished I had some vacation left over from my heart stent because I'd be there for sure. If you do make plans to be there stay at the Baymont out on Hwy7. Over looks the Lake and it's nice out that way.

It has zero chance of happening it is all about keeping the interest level up IMO

good grief

I was all set for the weekend before
now this

I don't believe they would take a $5 mil race like this and stick it on a friday. That's silly. With the lack luster Arkansas Derby they would be better off running the Apple Blossom as the feature on Saturday.

Ladies run on Fridays. The real horses run on Saturdays.

Or at least thats the Breeders Cup Way!!
