Ruffian, this is all very cute (but rather silly) but you took us around the barn and back again, which was totally unecessary and quite bothersome, at least to me. I caved in on the two venue stakes only card and decided to go with it as an exception to the unwritten rule but now you've changed your my mind again. I should have said NOPE pick one or the other . . . so I added to the "dilemma" as you put it. So now you've embarrassed me and yourself. Wont happen again.

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.
