I know!

I was genuinely thanking you!

Maybe I'm facetious too often around here.

How does the Kelso keep it's G2 Rating when it gets switched from the turf to the dirt?

What was the reasoning behind moving the Kelso to the dirt? If there is a glaring need for a NYRA prep for the BC Dirt Mile, then the Vosburgh could have been moved back to 7 panels and serve as a prep for the Dirt Sprint and Mile. Even though the Kelso had competition from the Shadwell Mile at Keeneland, the Kelso remained an attractive stakes race.

It will be interesting to see how much competition the Kelso will get from the $300k Monmouth Cup run six days later over 9 furlongs.

i didn't know you were scottish!

seriously, if they can move dirt races to awt and they keep the grade, i don't see a problem here.

on another note, wouldn't less stakes and more money to daily purses be better overall?
