Laurel Maryland Million day. I mean, come on, how can we not play a card that includes a race with a horse named Crabcakes? She's no slouch, either.

I want to play all 12 races but it does start kinda sorta early at 12 noon eastern. So, I suggest we play starting with Race 3 Maryland Million Distaff H. at 1:12 pm eastern through race 12. So, 10 races. Sound ok?

Go Crabcakes!!!!

More than OK - it sounds great.

Could those Crabcakes have a little bit of Old Bay seasoning and be washed down by some National Boh?

[Plenilune]

Sure, Old Bay seasoning is great. I don't know what National Boh is but you can drink whatever you like! I'll have a nice big glass of Pinot Noir. Yeah, I know it's red and usually white wine is paired with seafood. I'll drink what I like as well!

I have a question on this Laurel card. Races 5 and 6 are both sprints at 6 furlongs. Race 5 is only allowing 8 horses to run with 6 AE's. Race 6 is allowing 11 to run with only 3 AE's. Race 9 allows 12 to run. Anybody know the reasoning behind this?

RQ, I have the same question as you. The Equibase Entries show that in Race 3 there are only 7 entries and 1 AE. Makes no sense at all for races on the main track. As Race 8 indicates, the starting gate will accommodate 14.
