Title: ROTW
Post by: jerry on July 02, 2021, 11:50:03 AM
Nice to see a return to the ROTW. It’s what sold me in this product many $$$ ago.

That said, have you ever considered featuring a race of a lower profile that offers potentially more value? High priced optional allowance turf claimers with big fields around two turns have always been my favorite. Lots of class and trip angles to make them interesting. Maybe even a spread in the weights!

We try to pick races that both have something of interest (which this one definitely does, the other guy completely missed it), and has some interest to the public. In this case it’s tied into a national broadcast. For the same reasons we will be doing the Haskell in a couple of weeks.

My bad. Didn’t notice the FOX logo until I checked into the TVG site.
