It's Officially LBJ week!!

[JT]

I hope everyone is doing great
We had a wonderful vacation in Buxton N.C
Great weather,primo seafood, good friends.
Now it's time for my vacation from my vacation 
Although it looks like rather then making my 5 minute drive to the fairgrounds, I might need a canoe instead. Bad weather forecasted all week, but that’s OK we will have a great time anyway.
My betting hiatus officially ends today
I won't be on here much during the races, I got to save my phone battery for more important things ...in other words betting 

One final thought.. I hate to criticize my hometown, but 61 races the first 3 days?
They could have just chopped 5 races off all those 3 cards and raced yesterday.
They have raced on Saturday in years past but not recently.

Anyway everyone have a great LBJ week,  and to anyone attending, welcome to Delaware!!

We had a great time, hardly picked up my phone for a week and it was wonderful
Being off the grid for a while is underrated

Welcome back JT aka Plops own Hillbilly Elegy. 

 

Actually in Buxton,N.C it is about 90% either transplants or vacationers from the northeast. But don't let facts get in the way of your narrative.

J.D Vance was the senator from Ohio 
Why not

President JT then, because the other has seen his highest spot...a never trumper served his purpose but Trump will never forget





Should be an all Florida Presidential R ticket in 2028 - Rick Scott / Little Marco v. a coast to coast ticket of Newsom / AOC

Belmont Park Track Sizes

Track Sizes and Configurations Main Dirt Track: Remains a 1 1/2-mile (12-furlong) oval, maintaining its status as the largest thoroughbred racetrack in North America. The finish line was repositioned slightly (about 125 feet) to align with the other tracks.

Widener Turf Course (Outer Grass): Reconfigured and slightly reduced to a 1 1/4-mile circumference (down from 1 5/16 miles) to allow for multiple running lanes.

Inner Turf Course (Inner Grass): Reconfigured and shortened to a 1 1/8-mile circumference (down from 1 3/16 miles).

Tapeta Synthetic Track (All-Weather): Newly added as a fourth surface, built on the inside of the inner turf course with a 1-mile oval layout designed for winter racing and year-round training.
