I would propose that our race order should be all of the Belmont races in sequence and then all of the Santa Anita races in sequence. I think that minimizes any confusion.
The smallish fields for some of the Santa Anita races is a little disappointing, but they should still be very competitive with an entry to the BC on the line.
Hey RQ, do you think that the Belmont stakes races will all be part of the Grand Slam?
