Default Venue - Slim pickens for next Saturday . . . Oaklawn?

No real deals for 3YOs to sink our teeth into and Gulfstream has 4 stakes but the stakes at Oaklawn have bigger prize money and there is one 3YO ungraded stakes race there.

I'm leaning away from Gulfstream since we play there so often and opting for Oaklawn. Any thoughts yah or nah?

I'M SO "OVER" GULFSTREAM THAT OAKLAWN WOULD FEEL

Just an observation - we'll very likely be playing Gulfstream the following Saturday, given the stakes rich Fountain of Youth card.

A variety from a steady diet of GP and SA would be welcome. The racing in Hot Springs is always high quality, or you could show your loyalty to Texas and take us to Houston.

Houston does look like it has a nice card and I'm sure we'll see Oaklawn in the future.

I was contemplating Houston but not sure it gives us any punch. It would be different and a challenge since we rarely play there. Hmmmmmmm, decision to follow.
