Now for a venue Saturday 1/18

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.

JolyB, let's go with the Fair Grounds and if it's okay let's do the full card of 12 races.

Sounds good. I'll post the threads sometime tomorrow.

❤️ FAIR GROUNDS ===> MY VERY FAVORITE REACK ❣️

However I just can’t explain the reason why 😳

I’ve never been there
I don’t have the same affection for the other Louisiana tracks

Perhaps a connection to another lifetime there 🙀

My goodness, that's a very challenging card at the Fair Grounds for what they call the Road to the Derby Day. The winner of each of our contests will have truly earned it.
