No it wouldn't. First Saturday in November is the date they set for the last few years.

Let this be a teachable moment.

Mostly all of the Euro's complained about the record or near record heat at Santa Anita the year Mandella or a Euro turf horse won seemingly everything.

The weather was miserable at Churchill the year that Personal Ensign won the epic Distaff over Winning Colors and Alysheba won a great edition of the Classic.

The weather sucked at Monmouth and the best horse won virtually every race in an all-day chalk fest of form holding up.

If this subject is going to be an argument about where they think the most can be made --- I'm out of it. I don't really care.

Justin Dew is a sissy.
