Y'all know I must voice my displeasure not doing the entire race card at any track we play
Yes I realize some folks live in different time zones, BUT we always get the track days in advance which means everyone has their work done in plenty of time for the first post
Also what's wrong with race 14? Are we to presume it's past folks bedtimes????
5: 6,1
6: 3,5

12: 7,2
13: 2,4
14: 3,1
:forruffian:
Playing a shorter card isn't always about the times zones
Sometimes it's about the length of the card :thumbsup:
14 Races takes a lot of time for people to handicap
when they have plans for the weekend with family and friends
and not a lot of handicapping time for 14 races
It's also a little consideration for Ye Ole Scorekeeper!
:girlkiss:
Scoring 13 or 14 players on a Saturday is a lot on a short card :-\
But even more so with a 14 race card :banghead:
Plus the Writing of the race call the following day
On Wednesday's Midweek Mayham with LESS players
We almost always play the full card no matter how long it is :thumbsup:
:lightbulb: In the final decision for Saturday's card
The majority of those who voted opted for race 5 to 13
Including the defending champion who usually has the final decision in A Choice
As the ole saying goes
"You can't please all the peeps all the time"
But for those who have been with us over the years ...
I think they will agree that we try our best to do just that
:girlkiss:
I actually hope they cancel...

Agreed. Ive already decided to play this friendly contest, but I'll be boycotting tomorrow otherwise . It's just way too hot. I feel.really bad for the horse that have to race in this.
:forruffian:
Right now, Monmouth appears to be the only major Eastern track running on Saturday afternoon. Saratoga, Laurel, Parx, Delaware Park, Belterra and Finger Lakes have all cancelled.
While track management has implemented a number of safety protocols and would be very reluctant to lose their biggest day of the year, you need to pay attention to the possibility of a cancellation.
Proximity to the ocean may help them escape the worst heat.

But the wind (at least right now) is shown as coming from the WSW, and and not from the ocean...
alright, enough of my griping and biotching... good luck everyone (esp the horses in this heat though)-

Do the other tracks in the East have a greater concern for the horses and race fans or does Monmouth justify it
for the money. If there was a real concern the trainers wouldn't run their valuable animals.
PETA is on site waiting for one horse to drop from heat exhaustion.

:forruffian:
:lightbulb: In light of recent developments of cancellations of so many races
I am strongly considering canceling our day :thumbsup:
Please OPINE with your thoughts ASAP
The final decision will be made shortly but feedback is appreciated
It just doesn't seem to make sense with so many races now OUT = to play
I wish they would've canceled the entire card out of consideration for the horses well being! :'(
Ruffian, what you just said is ok by me, I am sure every one else will agree with your decision.
:forruffian:
The CAT'S MEOW
With such a late cancellation of so many races
WE WILL cancel our contest for the day to be fair to everybody :girlkiss:
Many players do not check back once the day begins
because they have other priorities with family and friends
and would never know those races were canceled
or that their ### were invalid
In my opinion based upon how many other tracks cancel the entire day
I would've been happier if the track considered the horses well-being first
And postponed the entire card until tomorrow or next weekend
but that's just my heart speaking as a horse lover :oie_30232359NUVsTmH4:

When the potential paycheck gets big enough, it seems to erode the trainers' and owners' "concern for their valuable animals."
