Isn't it silly when both tracks are running their respective races?

Does anyone get it and, if so, can you explain it?

The Sunshine Millions split maximizes the number of open races Stronach can ruin.

With Duke Of Mischief, Adios Charlie, and Mucho Macho Man having $400k state bred purse to divvy up right in their own backyard (without having to ship to Santa Anita), they get to avoid a real race like the Donn a week later.

Maybe next year, Gulfstream can run the one mile Gulfstream Park Handicap on the Donn undercard.

I just don't get the thinking.

I'm convinced that the "front office" guys at most racetracks don't even follow (or like) horse racing.
