As I have never been a racing secretary, I might be missing something obvious but this has always bugged me.

Why wouldn't they put the two races back to back to create an all-graded stakes daily double with 182 combinations?

I don't mean to pick on CD here because basically every track does it. Just a general question and this is a timely example. I understand if one of the stakes has 6 horses in it and they want to put outside the pick 4 and don't want to run two stakes as 6-7 on a 10-race card. Or one horse is going to be 2-5 and they don't want it in the pick-4 or whatever. But these are two deep, big fields. Why not put them back to back?

The player that doesn't follow Churchill daily is far more likely to play a double w/ the two big-field stakes than they would be to play a pick-3 w/ two of them, or a pick-4 with two of them and two other races.

Tracks don't typically run turf races back to back. After each race, grounds crews will circle the course and repair divots to try to make sure there are no dangerous spots.
