I don't normally speak up about which card to play. But WHEW! This whole craziness makes me .

How about KY Downs, all turf racing? I mean, who wouldn't want to handicap a race with Janis Joplin running? Ok, ok, J/K, kind of.

The only thing I will say is that I'm sad we haven't played Del Mar, yet, my hometown track. Maybe later in the season we'll get a chance at it.

Y'all know I'm good with whatever track is chosen. Go with the flow.

Almost bedtime, and I promised. This should strike a chord with all who have chimed in, even last weeks Points winner, Ruffian. Since this is such a diplomatic group, I'm proposing, no making a decision as follows. Well, maybe not, all. OK the threads will be up shortly(relatively speaking) or at least by morning. Sorry RQ we're not playing the whole card, which also answers Cal's question. Ohhhh, the suspense of it all?

JolyB is reading all of this back and forth verbage (staying neutral) and just smiling sitting in his easy chair, with an occasional head scratch, I'm sure

And I hope we never go down this slippery slope again while I'm still around.

You're right. Perhaps just should have gone with stakes races from both tracks, enough said. We've done it before. Let that be the choice. I don't believe anyone would have had an issue with that choice and if they did they can just opt out that week. No big deal.

Finally a voice of reason. I'll have the threads up as soon as I get back from walking a couple of dogs, TY Plen.
