Default Start of the new contest year?

My thought is to start off the new year on Dec. 2nd giving us one more week to refresh. Just in case anyone is traveling or has post Thanksgiving plans. Any feedback on this is appreciated. If it's a go next week Ruffian can give us a heads up on the venue early next week. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

December 2nd is good for me. I won't be traveling far, but will be doing the Thanksgiving pig out on Saturday instead of earlier because one of my adult children will be working on actual Turkey Day. Looks like waiting another week might be a better strategy anyway looking at the Stakes Calendar from Bloodhorse.

That sounds like a very good idea, RQ. The Thanksgiving weekend has lots of different activities that distract from handicapping - some will celebrate on other days to accommodate family needs - others will be traveling, and some brave souls may venture out to the stores on Black Friday (I do not have that much courage but marvel at those who do).

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

I do not celebrate Thanksgiving
Thousands of turkeys must die
Just for humans to celebrate
It just makes me wanna cry

Thanksgiving should be all year long
Be thankful for what is in your life
Try to focus on what brings you joy 🐎 🐶 😸
And don’t dwell on what brings you strife

From what I see so far
The best card of the day
Will probably be Aqueduct
Of where I choose to play

Wednesday I’ll check out the card
To see what I like the most
And once I have decided
I’ll make the official post 🐎

Without yet knowing about the entries, that looks like the right call Ruffian. The lineup of stakes races is the best that Aqueduct will offer for the rest of the year.
