If they were smart and they arent they would just run 3 days a week....add a day here and there for holidays and such.

While I do think that would help, wonder how many people would drop out of the the game?

How do you pay the bills for 7 day a week training when there are 26 or so races run?

I'm not sure I follow the logic? If they dropped a few days they could run more races on the days that they did run. And since they seem to be having trouble with filling races wouldnt reducing the number of races seem logical? How many horses that want to run arent getting a chance to?

They can run right now about 32-38 races a week. I dont see how dropping days and running 12-12-12 does anything for anyone, it would be a wash.

If they did sat and sun and ran 16....you would still not see full fields for very long as everyone would be gone.

You take the money from the other two days of racing and pump up the purses and most likely you could fill more than 9 races a day.

Dont see it......not sure that will do all that much for handle, it would help but so they go from 8 mil to 10 mil handle. They dont have the margin for a Monmouth type growth.

Well the only way to find out is try it.
