i guess my point was, there is no other competition in the state to run up against, so why chose to start a meet in the coldest month of the year?

Gotta think April's a killer for them. Keeneland starts, Aqu moves to the main plus they get back on to the turf in the Northeast.

Talked with our Crew there today (most came from Woodbine) said it felt colder today there than any day the had this past meet at Woodbine. Actually pretty cold for Ocala I don't believe the thermometer got past 45 today.
