You can't see a darn thing on the track feed with all of those infield tents.

I don't know what's more ridiculous...the racing so far or those tents.

No Dixie on NBC?

I guess interviewing Kathy Ritvo was a bit more important.

Yeah. Doesn't change the fact the racing was an embarrassment and the tents were worse.

The card worked when trainers were willing to wheel-back in two weeks, but now Pimlico is left with nothing but the leftovers. Belmont, I think, has the best Triple Crown undercard, and they're in a better spot with 5 weeks off the CD races and a later time in the year for other horses to get going.

The purses are also a joke.

Doesn't matter though... if you put another $100k on each of those races, do the fields grow by that much?

Those Tents remind me of being at a dog show.
