How does one factor the fact that the 1st heat finalists will have atleast 90 minutes until the final! Why so many races on a important day in the sport? If they think that the gate will open every 18 minutes, then they are more ignorant than I thought they were!Trainer knowledge is an overlooked factor when handicapping the Jug. You just cant ready a horse for the Jug like you would for the all too common 1 mile dash of today. I love the heat racing. Difficult to get enough yogurt in a horse to last 2 heats. Most years you see a horse charging down the lane in the first heat and staggering in the final.

Excellent point Mailbox. And this is why Confederate remains in his stall at the Red Mile. They should cater to the big event not cram 24 races in. In fairness to all the Jug entrants those 3 races should go off with no more than 10 minutes in between each one.
