Title: Clueless
Post by: Silver Charm on June 28, 2006, 05:20:05 AM
Been way too busy lately.

Someone please help me with a little bit of scheduling for this weekends races. The Fourth is on Tuesday, do the usual races still go on that day or are they on Sat/Sun and if not what is on Sat/Sun.

fri night: iowa derby and oaks.

sat: suburban and mother goose at Bel. one excellent turf race from CD, AP, Del, and Hol. a decent sprint at Mth. a few more good races from prarie meadows.

sun: spend most of your time on the Hol card, it\'s their biggest day of the year. CD looks weak, but you get another good turf stks at AP, and two decent races from Bel.

mon: late pk4 at Bel might be worth a look if everyone starts leaving work early.

tues: late races from Bel and nice turf races at Mth and Crc.

Sunday is the big one at HOL;

American Oaks (Gr1)
Triple Bend (Gr1)
Vanity (Gr1)
American Invitational (Gr2)

& the Flawlessly Stakes, for good measure.

There\'s also a CashCall Mile (Saturday)/American Oaks (Sunday) double.  Not sure if the bet will be available only on track, or what...

Unfortunately, Sunday is shaping up as 6-8 horse fields in the stakes races.  It is particularly disappointing in the American Oaks.  They will be lucky if 8 run in that race...more declinations than acceptances.

Debbie,

Thanks, this does help me plan my weekend a little better. Hollywood is later in the day. I can still get most of my personal stuff done by the time they start running.

Is the Firecracker at CD on the Fourth?
