Doesn't anyone suspect that this may be the hammer that they could use to try and push the anti-Lasix agenda in a few years?

A third in the Sunland Derby is as important as a win in the BCJ or Hollywood Futurity?
Do the morons who run CD do ANYTHING right??????

So none of the races at Saratoga, including the Hopeful, matter? Wow.
At least that ridiculous Delta Jackpot is no longer a free pass.

Quote:
Arlington want Hawthorne to run a Keeneland type meet in April because that would mean more simucast revenue for AP, and they feel that the racing in Feb/March is subpar and drains the purse funds, plus they also feel that them not racing Feb and March would allow Arlington to offer even better purses because of that simulcast revenue. I actually somewhat agree with Arlington on the issue, but it is how Churchill goes about the whole thing that always leaves a bad taste in people's mouths
