Fair Grounds full card 12 races or Oaklawn Park 10 race card.

Don't know about anyone else, but I would really like playing the card at the Fair Grounds. The Lecomte tends to stoke everyone's enthusiasm for the upcoming Triple Crown season.

Fair Grounds looks like a way better card.

Agreed on Fair Grounds. They always have a few good entrants for Derby weekend.

There are times when I would lobby for Oaklawn, but this is not one of them. I printed out the pps for Fair Grounds yesterday. Fairgrounds this time of year is pretty much a tradition. That said, Oaklawn too has its share of Derby entrants and even an occasional winner like last year. Hopefully, whoever has the venue choice in the future for the Arkansas Derby weekend will remember that and at least use it as an add on to whatever venues we play.

No offense intended, Cal.
