All at the 1 mile distance. Looks like a big day ahead for KS Jr. A lot of shorts prices on the menu. Then off to the Oxford Casino to shoot some craps! LOL!
Why don't more tracks write more races with a variety of distances?
Seems like it would be better for bettors since there would be additional handicapping angles to consider, and it would provide connections with more options for their pacers and trotters.
A Cumberland card featuring a variety of 0.5-mile, 1-mile, and 1.5-mile races, for example, would probably provide a more interesting racing product than the status quo.
