Venue thoughts for September 18

[JolyB]

I've been waiting to announce the venue for Saturday until entries are posted. I think that there are several possible choices but none absolutely stand out. Belmont will be featuring the Jockey Club Derby, Churchill Downs will offer the Iroquois and the Pocahontas and Woodbine will feature the Woodbine Mile. Each of those are "win and you're in" races for their respective BC race. Each track will also some additional stakes races on their undercard; the choice will come down to which one has the more interesting fields. It may end up being a somewhat arbitrary one, but I'll post the choice either late this evening or early tomorrow once I've had a chance to look at the entry lists. I'm sure it will be one of those three.
