Neither card is outstanding. I like Keeneland better.

[RUFFIAN]

The only reason I prefer BELMONT ❣️
I hate calculating KENTUCKY pennies

I am waiting to see more feedback
Before making a final decision

Right now I am leading AWAY from KENTUCKY

Line additionally keeping a eye on the hurricane
Weather forecasting have mentioned Kentucky
So for now it’s a wait and see venue decision

Thank you all for your patience

I don't think that Hurricane Milton poses any threat to either New York or Kentucky. Its projected path seems to be across the Florida peninsula and then out into the Atlantic on a course toward Bermuda. My thoughts are with those who might be in its path in Florida.

As to the problem of pennies in Kentucky, I keep thinking that those pennies are of benefit to the horseplayer, rather than going to the track as increased breakage. To me they are a plus, not a minus.

To clarify previous comments

I only mention Kentucky in relation to MILTON
Due to The weather channel
Mentioning Kentucky in relation
To the extended trajectory possibilities

I was only trying to be helpful and sharing that info

Kentucky pennies
Clarification of my comment
was referring only to scorekeepers scoring Comtests

It has nothing to do with the
Racetrack tellers or players there

[RUFFIAN]

🙏🙏PLAYERS PLEASE OPINE ASAP 🙏🙏🙏

So far it looks like RQ RESPONDED WITH KEENELAND

I AM LEANING A LITTLE MORE TOWARD BELMONT

BUT I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE FEEDBACK
BEFORE MAKING A FINAL DECISION ON THURSDAY

SO PLEASE Opine with your preference 🙏

A= KEENELAND

B = BELMONT

Ruff, you are asking for opinions, but it is still ultimately your call to make as the points winner. Either Belmont or Keeneland would be an equally good choice.

The most interesting race on either card to me is the Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup at Keeneland. While there is only 1 Grade 1 winner in the field, many have won other graded stakes in the US and Canada or Group races in Europe. All 10 bring credentials that would make them competitive.

[cal828]

Ok here are a couple of things that may or may not help you in making your decision. There is little time differential in Keeneland and Belmont at the Big A. Belmont starts at 12:10 ET. Keeneland starts at 1:00 ET. Keeneland has 10 races. Belmont has 11. I know that you seem to have a preference for Maiden races. There are 3 at Belmont and 4 at Keeneland. The first one at Belmont is in Race 5 and the first one at Keeneland is in Race 2.

I am thinking that whichever track you pick will be acceptable to most or all of us or maybe a compromise might be acceptable to the score keepers where we add a race like the QEII from Keeneland to the Belmont card. After all, we played 3 tracks last week and the sky refused to fall.

[Real Quiet]

I myself prefer one track except for special circumstances and this doesn't look like one. Personally I wouldn't play the QEII.

The QEII appears to me to be what a seminar host once called a "great betting race." When pressed for an explanation, he suggested that he didn't have the foggiest idea how the race would turn out, but that it was so wide open that if you were fortunate to find the winner(s), you would be generously rewarded for your bets.

[Real Quiet]

I really wish we could post the venue a little earlier. Entries have been out since at least yesterday and both tracks have earlier post times. As for the QE II, if there is a foreign starter in the field I’m clueless as to how good they are. It’s also why some BC races don’t appeal to me. Nice to watch but I don’t pick them.

[RUFFIAN]

RQ

NORMALLY I WOULD HAVE POSTED BY NOW
I APOLOGIZE FOR THE DELAY I 😿



I was trying to be considerate
Of the players preference of which track

I will go ahead with KEENELAND
I was about to post the official notification

So sorry for any inconvenience to anyone for the delay 🙀

Looks like the right choice:
