Default Venue Feb 03, 2018

February is already here! Before you know it...the year will be half gone

Let's play Gulfstream which includes a few stakes including the Holy Bull.

Thank you.

Default Suggestion

Would you consider starting the day with race #4
The First Stake...
Less to Score
Later Post Time for Sleepyheads...

Nice choice of Gulfstream, Plenilune. Of the three Derby preps this Saturday, it looks as if the Holy Bull is a much more competitive race than either the Lewis or the Withers.

As to the number of races we play, that should be your call both as the winner of last week's points contest and because you are the one who goes to the time and trouble to score. I for one would be happy with whichever choice you make. Just let me know your preference and I'll be there.

You're the scorer (and the winner) so start with the race you want to. Race 1 or 4 is OK with me and entirely up to you!!! Nice dominating win last time out also Plen!!!

Hmmm OK I shoulda read JB's post . . . kinda redundant . . . oh well.

More sleep? . . . you're two time zones into more sleep. Besides I always looked at you as getting up with the rooster. You have animals to take care of early, right?

THE RUFF INFO REPORT:
DON:
ACTUALLY U HAVE 'REVERSE' LOGIC!

I AM 2 HOURS *EARLIER* THAN EAST COAST! YAWN!
PLUS I AM UP EVERY NITE AT 3 AM FEEDING THE CAT!
(Long Story!)

NOPE!
*THE HORSE IS AT THE RANCH
*THE CAT EATS AT 3 AM
(A Habit I Wish I Could Break But Unfortunately Not)
Then I Return To Cozy Bed To Sleep ~

*Usually Feed: QRFLUFFL ThePomeranian & AshAvAri The Cat
AROUND 9:30--10 AM BREAKFAST

MY MAIN ISSUE WITH EARLY POST TIME IS THAT WE CANNOT
INCLUDE ALTERNATE ROI PIX WHICH MEANS I HAVE TO GET
UP WAY EARLIER TO CHECK SCRATCHES, THEN DECIDE WHICH
BACK UP PLAN ALT TO USE ~ THEN POST IT WHILE BLEARY EYED

I'm going to go with the 12 races. I'd rather eliminating the amount of races be a once in a while exception, rather than the rule.

I tried to correct the venue date as it is the 3rd, not the 2nd.

Thank you.

I HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH TRYING TO EDIT MY VENUE CHOICE ONE TIME

THE NOTICE ADVISED THAT
"TOO MANY HOURS HAD PASSED SINCE I POSTED THE VENUE"

COULD NOT EDIT TO CORRECT

SO HAD TO RE-DO
