Venue Next . . . Sep 23 pretty much has to be

Don, I think that you are spot on both with respect to Parx for this Saturday and future venues of SA, BEL and KEE, at least as long as horses are still running preps for the BC. Kamloops and its ilk will just have to wait.

Ms. Ruffian, I'm sure that your "walk in the Parkx" pun was really a sly way of referring to the typical fractional times you might see on a Monday afternoon at Parx in two turn dirt races from low level claimers (i.e. 26 3/5; 51 1/5;...)

I'm also thinking we only play races 1 thru 11, ending with the big enchilada!!!

To Which The Ruff One Responds ~
If I Were As Knowledgeable As Joly Re: Those Kind Of Tidbits / Facts
Then He Coulda Been Correct ~

However ~ As Most Know, I Am Ignorant Of Those Sort Of ''Stats''

As A Writer Who Plays With Words & Double Meanings ~
It Was Only A Simple Play on PARX / PARKS

My ''Stats'' For Choosing Horses Are Supurrr Simple!
Felines / Names / Grays / Fave Sires

And Thaaaaaaaaats ALL Folks!

That's one of the reasons why this thing we call handicapping is such a great avocation. Ruff, you can love the activity without ever looking at a speed figure or doing a pace analysis. I can dive into the past performances with all of the zeal of a financial analyst looking at a corporate earnings report. Even though we take very different approaches, at the end of the day we can both go home as winners.
