Even though I have taken to watching some of those Euro races on you tube, I say play on this weekend. There is a chance, albeit a slim one, that some of us might emerge from bankruptcy( although maybe more likely, just digging a bigger hole for ourselves). Belmont seems like the better place to go, but we will know more about that tomorrow evening.

I agree with Cal. I would like the opportunity to dig myself deeper in debt.
I agree somewhat with Joly. An abbreviated card wherever we go is fine by me. Not so that I can cap the Breeders Cup that early but to let others do so if they choose.

A DAY OFF SOUNDS EXHILARATING

I would be very happy not playing at all
Give my brain a rest before the big days

I'll happily go along with whatever choice the group makes. My personal preference would be to take a week off and return with vigor for the BC.

Well, I guess I'll just have to get my horse racing fix from the Del Mar Beat Ray Contest this weekend. Disappointing, as I usually do better in this contest than in that one, but Breeder's Cup is a grueling 2 days so maybe we need the rest to be at our best(unintended poetry there). I doubt I'll be watching many of those Euro races on You Tube as I am no great race watcher, but I do watch them occasionally when the past performances that you get are so terrible that you can't even tell what kind of running style a horse has. Not a fan of European past performances. Wish there was one type of PPs for all races, but that will most likely never happen. Rest up everyone so we can hopefully, knock it out of the park next Friday or Saturday.

Cal, thanks for mentioning the Del Mar Beat Ray Contest.

For anyone who wants to give it a try, here's a link to the contest rules:
