What an odd group of drivers - no drives for T McCarthy/Zeron/Louis and Beckwith was put down as many times as Dex, Tetrick, David Miller and Andy McCarthy.

im assuming Engblom.s suspension is either stayed or under appeal...it would be sad if he makes the final and actually wins....and Jodie Cullen, Hunter Oakes and jared Bako all have questionable pasts,...but i will still watch but with cynicism

Good luck Lucpark. You can't win it if you're not in it. LOL. Any given Sunday baby. That's why they run the races.
-
Unfortunately with 3 eliminations only the top 3 finishers are guaranteed to advance along with a randomly drawn 4th place finisher which makes it more difficult for longshots who need to trip out to have a chance.
whether its 3 divisions or 2, nobody will be all out and try to win-the idea is to qualify for the Final
they should be non betting races
4 divisions would be ideal where only the top 2 qualify--make them 5 horse fields
also--since posts #1 and #2 are considered poor--do the elim winners get to choose the posts?
-
It would be idea if you had (3) ten horse fields, then you need to be aggressive. I still think they will be trying to win with only the top 3 finishers advancing. I'm almost sure the winners get to choose their posts and usually take anywhere from pp3 to pp6. I still think you want to win because if you're too conservative you may end up watching the race next week.

or finish 2nd or 3rd then draw the 10 hole in the final
-
I believe last year they "assigned" winners of elims from posts #2 through #6
so you could win and get stuck with a horrible #2 spot if that is the case
winners should get 4-5-6 and choose-not be assigned
-
According to the race conditions, the top three finishers from each elimination advance to the final, plus one fourth-place finisher which will be drawn by lot. The winners of each elimination will draw for posts two through six.

for some reason, WEG seems to think posts 2 to 6 are basically equivalent--and that shows ignorance, post #6 obviously is best but post #5 is clearly the 2nd best post
I would rather have post #7 or post #8 over post #2
they should be allowed to choose--not a blind draw from 2-6
-
agreed, pappilon
not sure why they make it so difficult
put the 3 winners in a draw and they get picked out and they each pick their post
then do the same with second place finishers
then the third place finishers
-
Agree there has to be a better way. Something like this might liven up elimination races. As they are mostly unbettable now.
-
The more I look at this race, the more I like it...the final that is. LOL.
-
Lucpark good luck this weekend...hopeful ly make the final and see what happens.
-
Someone at the track said that if there were only 3 eliminations, then the winners draw for 3 through 5, and then PP's 2 and 6 are only added if need be. I didn't read anything like that in the race conditions, nor did I hear anything like that. While I don't think it's true, it might be a good idea.

why would you penalize an elim winner by not having them have post #6?
do you realize how big the advantage is for that post?

Hard to believe neither Todd or Andrew McCarthy has any drives on NA Cup Night.

Avanti
good luck Mr. Park
maybe Jmac works his magic and creates a golden trip and you make it to next week. tmbz1
the race looks wide open on paper
-

Outside of Burke the list of trainers is a bit non-traditional - no Pelling, Ryder, Takter only with 1. Race definitely also has a Canadian flavor as most of the stakes up there do. This has lead to Andy Miller and Braxton Boyd types being listed. McCarthy did have a drive on Duration in the Roses are Red - curious how Scotty ended up with that and the drive on Knockout Round
Does anyone know what actually happened with Dunn and Miller. Both are back down this week and I assume things have been cleared up
-
I will be playing Making History in the 3rd division, with the Kid driving 1st time ever in Canada

Absolutely stacked fields
