I see your point. The last Kelso runner (when it wasn't transferred to the main track) to hit the board in a BC race was Friendly Island, who finished second in the 2006 Sprint.

It may have been more prudent to scrap the Kelso and maintain the purses for some of the Oct. 2 stakes, but as it stands, NYRA now has the bookends for a Mile Triple.

i didn't know you were scottish!

seriously, if they can move dirt races to awt and they keep the grade, i don't see a problem here.

on another note, wouldn't less stakes and more money to daily purses be better overall?
