To Woodbine, Please keep
To Woodbine,
Please keep the 7/8 racing one night a week, or more. Also consider adding some longer distances.
This could be progressive in attacting t-bred gamers to our product. They have been racing varying distances for years. It does not seem to hurt their product, in fact the Triple crown is raced at three separate distances is it not?
Bravo on running the trial, but expand your purpose behind it, not just moving the starting line, move the business forward.
