Venue: July 2nd @ Churchill Downs

CT, I don't think there is any danger of your incurring anyone's wrath over your choice. I'm sure that our hardworking scorers will appreciate having only 11 races rather than (gasp) 13.

Besides, even with a bunch of stakes races, the quality of competition at GP during the summer months just isn't close to what we see in the early spring (although I did note that a couple of NY based jockeys and trainers have made the trip).

Churchill it will be for Saturday evening, with the hope that some of the runners in the stakes races for 2 years olds will reappear for the Saratoga season.

Congrats to you on your win at Santa Anita, and best of luck to you for a repeat.
