Great post. I don't understand what Gulfstream gains. They will get a lousy betting race which will lower handle. Attendance won't be greatly affected.

I guess there sole purpose is to screw Tampa Bay Downs. That's a crappy way to run a business. I hope they get a monsoon and they have to scratch or cancel the card.

Not only do they get a truly lousy betting race this week... but they lose the possiblity of an Uncle Mo VS Dialed In match-up on March 12th ... which would have been a BIG score for them.

And - it also ensures the Timely Writer race on March 12th will be another horrid stinker of a betting race.

Basically - they just kneeled down to the connections of Uncle Mo and Dialed in - and allowed two truly crappy betting races on Saturday cards - severly unsportsmanlike prep races ... just to stick it to the Tampa Bay Derby.
