Spyder

Two days before the race AND one of the original races in the condition book needs to not fill so the "substitute race" SWLY is entering can make it in.

You gonna make it if she goes?

ok, so how do they decide what races go? other than if a race just plain doesn't fill. if a sub races gets ten entries, and another gets...say, five--do they go with the one with more entries?

Flip a coin?

Hopefully they base it on which field draws more visitors to their barn each day.

well, the race you're looking at is the first sub race, so does that mean it's the first to be a race if one doesn't fill?

of course flipping a coin was what the Browns did to pick starting QB last night, so i guess it's not unheard of in the world of sports!

Because there is no guarantee the race gets in, probably not. I checked on flights, nothing leaving Sun. night to come back so I'd have to take Monday off and I just had two weeks off. If the race was Saturday, I'd be there.

I'll make the Fairgrounds this winter though. Nothing like the ponies by day and French Quarter by night....
