Even if the weather is nice ... why not keep pulling two races a day and forcing carryovers until we get like a $5 million carryover? That would be fun. There's nothing to stop it from happening. They have a rule that gives them power to make a carryover anytime they want one.

And I'm not saying they would - nor would doing so help them - even today it didn't help despite the fact it manufactured a carryover for a tomorrow.

But does anyone not see how this is hands down the worst rule - perhaps in the entire history of horse racing?

I'm really starting to wonder about you guys if no one else sees how horrible this rule is.
