Better/worse than the recent past?

What happens when Plainridge opens (when does it open)?

Beckwith, Athearn, and Cushing will go to Plainridge leaving the others with opportunities. But Wally Hennesey shows up every year and then gets the top drives. when the Tioga and Vernon drivers leave, it will be the norm but not an elite class. Forget about Gray. he occasionally goes to Plainridge with his top-class horses. Not 100% sure, but they usually open in early April
