Dude seriously, all I said was "it recently moved there", like last year. Wouldn't you say the Hopeful just recently moved to Monday, like last year?

Hopeful had been on Travers Day for a few years before they moved the Woodward to Saratoga and beefed up closing weekend.

Yes, you are correct. I forgot about the 3 years when they decided that they shouldn't run one of the other 2YO stakes races and moved them around.

Well since we're giving our recommendations for improving NY racing...

Turf sprints should be limited to one per day. Otherwise the racing secretary has to muck stalls for a day.

Now here is a recommendation I support. Can neither of the turf courses support a 7 furlongs sprint? I wouldn't have a problem if they at least mixed some of those in there instead of the 5.5 all the time.

Yeah if they started midway on the turn

On both courses? How about 6.5? Seems like with two turf courses they could mix in at least one distance between 5.5 and 8. Would make for a much more interesting handicapping race if you had a 6.5 or 7 furlong turf sprint that had some horses moving up from 5.5 and some moving down from 8. Of course just limiting the turf sprints would be more than fine by me as well.

Oh and one more thing. Jan Rushton can't wear hats anymore. For the love of god stop it.

Compared to how poorly she performs her job the hats are the least of my worry. Let's either get someone hot or competent and I don't give a crap what they want to wear on their head.

I just want to know if she's bald.

I vote for the Bealah Twins.
