I probably went to far with asking for all players to be on deck for race 1 call. Probably because I live on the east coast and have no idea when the west coast wake-up.

I have no problem if you drop the first and second race call JolyB and make it play races 3 - 14.

Digger, I think that is a good decision on your part. We won't lose anything of importance by dropping races 1 and 2. Don't know if we have any west coast players, but I can think of one player in the Mountain time zone who deplores early first posts.

I'll post the threads later for Gulfstream Park races 3 through and including the Florida Derby.

BTW, congrats on your Points win.

Ruff, I think that we already have a pretty full dance card. I'm sure that players will still have an interest in the Arkansas Derby even though it is not part of our contest. I think it is scheduled to go off at 6:24 PM Central, about 45 minutes after the Florida Derby.

Ruff, every Saturday there are lots of great races. I suspect that many of us handicap them, wager on them and watch them. They might even be included in other contests in which we participate. But we've discussed "bonus" races in the past. Often they don't make the contest better, they only add more - more handicapping effort and time for players, more trying to obtain pp's, more jumping around the results for our scorers.

Agree 100% JB.
