The usual standards? Let me ask you this. If all the same horses were running but they called all four 20000 claimers AOCs instead, would there be such an outcry? Or what if instead they replaced them all with five and six horse NW2X and 3X races or some made up overnight stake, the Karakorum Crapbag, shall we call it? Would it be better then? Look at the full calendar. This is the "off" weekend caused by repositioning the major races for TV, which was supposed to be a good thing.

Yeah, it's not as strong as all the other weekends. I just don't get the crying. If you don't lke the card there's a lot of other tracks going that day. Frankly on first glance I didn't see too many I liked either and I'm going to be up there. Maybe I'll play one or two and then go drink beers and watch the ball game instead, but I'm not going to whine about it. So give us a list then of all the tracks that have a better card going that day. Already seen Del Mar doesn't, so I'm thinking that list is pretty short. Give it a couple days, it will be better, whatever that means.
