Default Venue for May 22

I think I posted this in an incorrect area. Let's try once more.

Sorry for the delay in posting this. I keep searching for that perfect venue for our contest this Saturday and have concluded that it can't be found, at least in North America.

So, rather than picking either Pocatello Downs or Fanduel Sportsbook and Horse Racing [no I didn't make that one up, it is the new name for the old Fairmont Park just East of St. Louis] and have RQ ribbing me for the rest of the decade, I've concluded that the best choice would be:

Belmont Park for a 10 race card that starts at 1:00 PM Eastern time. The feature is just a $100,000 non graded stakes race but the fields are reasonably full and appear at first blush to be competitive. Hope that all of you enjoy the contest.

JB, sure glad you had to try and find the "Perfect Venue" and then make the choice
