Default Venue Thoughts for Oct. 10th

The best graded races are at Belmont this Saturday. In the 5 graded stakes the fields are small but I can't find any other good venue alternatives. Keeneland has two graded races but a slew of maiden races too. Any thoughts on an alternative venue and all feedback will be appreciated.

Despite the smallish fields for the graded stakes, the Belmont card is by far the most relevant. 4 of those stakes races are part of the BC Challenge series - interestingly enough, the QEII isn't, perhaps because in the past, the timing has just been too tight between that race and the BC F&M Turf.

RQ,congrats on your points win, and I look forward to your selection. Anything you pick is fine with me [I checked to make sure Kamloops wasn't running before saying that]

OK All. Here's the venue choice which I'll post by 3PM eastern time. Chime in if you have a preference. Races 1 to 10 at Belmont and the QEII or the full 11 race card at Belmont and no QEII.

Race 11 is for 2 year old New York bred fillies sprinting on the turf. All but two of them have never run before. Sure looks like a guessing game to me - I'd be happier not having to try to figure it out.
