Default Possible Venue for July 5???

Well we have Horseshoe at Indianapolis, Lone Star Park, Saratoga and ???

I'd like to take us to my home track at Lone Star Park (seldome played) but there are better options.

Input please, I'm open to any suggestions.

Saratoga Probably The Best Option

Since I won't be around to handicap tomorrow selfishly I prefer the short card at Lone Star. While it doesn't rival Horseshoe or Saratoga the card isn't bad.

Now's your chance to take us to Lone Star if you want to. We seldom venture Deep In the Heart of Texas, and I suspect that once the formal Saratoga season starts on the 10th (while there are races at the Spa this weekend, they are not officially counting it as part of the season) we will probably be using it as our contest venue quite often.

Please let us know and I'll post the threads after you make your choice.

There's no better option for you Don Guido than to be home. Take us to the Lone Star and park us there for a great day of racing.
Saratoga can wait for later in the summer closer more to the fall feeling weather.
Enjoy your home meeting of the Lone Star Park.

Rq 👌 Yep

Looks Like Lone Star ⭐️ Is The Probable
But I’m Not Gonna Start Doing Pix Till I Know For Sure
Life‘s Too Short To Handicap The Wrong Track 🙀

Thank you all. You didn't have to twist my arm too much. Lone Star is usually ripe with mild to heave long shots FYI. There should be some known trainers there this Saturday too but don't overlook the horses that have run there before.
