Message: [QUOTE="IthacaBarrel, post: 5235083, member: 363"] Racing opted for a few BIG days a year a while back, those days are great cards but I agree a lof oher cards at Saratoga can be kind of weak these days. In addition, what they are paying in purses at Colonial and in KY over the summer, many people are opting to stay home with their horses. I understand that they have added additional weeks over the years and with Belmont being closed, I am sure most can only take so much of the Big A. They also went from 6 days to 5 days a week at Saratoga 6-7 years ago so some additional weeks was to be expected. I am curious to see what Saratoga looks like once Belmont reopens. There is only three tracks left that get a solid attendance on just an average card during the week or weekends for that matter. Saratoga, Keeneland, Oaklawn. Del Mar maybe but it looks kind of dead over there on many afternoons [/QUOTE]
