Default Venue 4/1 - Gulfstream Park

Get ready cause we are full carding it. Races 1 - 14. April Fools maybe or maybe not. I know you're all studying for the Florida Derby to run. So get ready to run from beginning to the end. I think I may regret this come Sunday morning.

I usually suggest moderation in the number of races in our contests, both to keep players from from getting overloaded and out of concern for our scorers. Since you will be the one scoring this extravaganza, the latter isn't necessary. It will make for a long day at the track, about 7 hours and 10 minutes from "flag fall to that's all". Let's plan on meeting at the ATM after race 7 to replenish our cash.

I'm glad April Fool's only comes once a year.

I probably went to far with asking for all players to be on deck for race 1 call. Probably because I live on the east coast and have no idea when the west coast wake-up.

I have no problem if you drop the first and second race call JolyB and make it play races 3 - 14.

Digger, I think that is a good decision on your part. We won't lose anything of importance by dropping races 1 and 2. Don't know if we have any west coast players, but I can think of one player in the Mountain time zone who deplores early first posts.

I'll post the threads later for Gulfstream Park races 3 through and including the Florida Derby.

BTW, congrats on your Points win.
