Let the synthetic horses have their own Pro Ride Classic series at Santa Anita, if they like. As far as "US rule" goes, if you want that you better start typing away on your blogs. The European press is running pieces on US "isolation" as we speak. And it seems that too many in racing just get a "warm, tingly feeling running up and down their leg" from the lofty overseas press.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8420729300769326017.post-6090972932554836102009-11-21T08:22:58.394-05:002009-11-21T08:22:58.394-05:00Ian: Good points, I think KEE probably would be li...Ian: Good points, I think KEE probably would be limited in attendance anyway as I did experience the joy of parking there last April.

There's not much around here other than the airport that's going to be able to provide supplemental parking on that side of town. And the way AQU has sold off its parking fields, it's in the same boat.<br /><br />I'd rather go back to Monmouth than any number of these tracks, by the way. <br /><br />Otherwise, you can make the rotation Belmont and Churchill exclusively as far as I'm concerned.

Made the mistake of parking in surrounding neighborhood instead of the lot.
