🏇 Venue 9/3 = Saratoga 🏇
The Thrill Of Winning ��
Then Comes With A Chore Of Deciding A Venue That Most Will Adore �� Sometimes That Choice Is So Hard To Decide With 2 Different Options Of Where Next To Ride �� I’ve Mewsed + I’ve Pondered Until I Felt Queasy So I Finally Decided To Make The Day Easy It’s Saratoga Only The Full Card To Play Will Leave Ole Del Mar For Some Other Day Last edited by DonGuido : 09-01-2022 at 05:55 PM.

In the future if you happen to win points and have a split minded proposal abouth any venue, please send a PM to me so we can spare everyone else this tiresome pondering, OK. If you need to respond to this post . . . how about a simple, "OK" or if you must rhyme, how about "OK, go take on the day". Thank you. PS - I'm going to exercise my Administrator's right, which I don't think I've ever done unilaterally before, and say we are changing the card to 11 races, ending with the Jockey Club Gold Cup . . . keeping Plenilune's scoring in mind. The last wo races are easily dismissed. I'll put the threads up sometime between now and bed time.

DON
What I tried to do at first ~ Ask Players opinions on which track was preferred And offered up the IDEA 💡 of an ALL STAKES DAY Even Knowing …. YOU would probably veto it As the Winner, I didn’t have to ask anybody’s opinion I didn’t have to offer up an idea for a response 💥 After reading Joly‘s commentary about the time zones ⏰ And possible issues for players because of that I actually made the decision Based on an EASIER day for all the players!  I guess it really is true NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED 😼 🐯 MAY THE PURRRRR BE WITH YOU 😻 WEBSITE ===> www.RUFFIAN333.com 🐎 Horses 🏇 😻 Cats 😸 🐶 Dogs 🐕 📖 Poetry 🖊 🎶 Lyrics 🎵

1. Or I could say, lets just call it bye week. 2. Or I could say, Y'all put it up for a real vote. 3. Or I could say, whatever Ruffian decides. 4. Or I could say, someone else decide. But I won't. Pick one . . . but y'all are missing my point and that's OK.

I HANDICAPPED the entire card so it really doesn't matter to me. In the ROI it doesn't matter how many races you use. If I screw up it doesn't matter if we play one race or 13. It's just a long day for our point scorer so no Ruff. We don't need any bonus races.

I don't normally speak up about which card to play. But WHEW! This whole craziness makes me
 .How about KY Downs, all turf racing? I mean, who wouldn't want to handicap a race with Janis Joplin running?  Ok, ok, J/K, kind of.The only thing I will say is that I'm sad we haven't played Del Mar, yet, my hometown track. Maybe later in the season we'll get a chance at it. Y'all know I'm good with whatever track is chosen. Go with the flow.

Almost bedtime, and I promised. This should strike a chord with all who have chimed in, even last weeks Points winner, Ruffian. Since this is such a diplomatic group, I'm proposing, no making a decision as follows. Well, maybe not, all. OK the threads will be up shortly(relatively speaking) or at least by morning. Sorry RQ we're not playing the whole card, which also answers Cal's question. Ohhhh, the suspense of it all?
JolyB is reading all of this back and forth verbage (staying neutral) and just smiling sitting in his easy chair, with an occasional head scratch, I'm sure And I hope we never go down this slippery slope again while I'm still around.

I don't believe anyone would have had an issue with that choice and if they did they can just opt out that week. No big deal.

FYI
I ONLY SWITCHED FROM ALL STAKES VENUE BASED UPON JOLY’s INFORMATION RE TIME ZONES AFFECTING SCRATCHES AND PLAYERS ABILITY TO AMEND PIX SO I APOLOGIZE FOR TRYING TO BE CONSIDERATE 🤔
