...Not bad at all... (for a consultant or whatever!)<br />IMO the Jug has to be the anchor - purses be damned. This game is flailing around looking for a draw for the public (we'll forget about rake for the moment) It's imperative that we build on tradition, the heart-stirring calls from Jugs past etc. If we boil it all down to it's filthiest essence, Pepsi Cups, etc. we're pandering to sponsors that couldn't give a rat's ass whether the sport lives or dies. this whole sponsorship thing stinks - if the sport can't survive without it, then die with dignity.<br />No argument to the three different track configurations, but it should culminate in a battle of guts over a half in heats... that will weed out the shrinking violets.<br />Cheers, ALAlpha Linknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-33969791363964601632012-07-02T16:49:09.365-04:002012-07-02T16:49:09.365-04:00I can't argue with your choices.

The question, what race would fit? Only the Adios in PA comes to mind.<br /><br />The sad part of this discussion is the questionable future of Canadian racing puts the N. A. Cup in doubt and The Meadowlands is still iffy. Only Delaware, Ohio appears to be a sure thing for now. Think Ohio could move the fair dates?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
