Interesting article about how Stronach/Magna are planning on moving the Fla Derby to April. They will probably go head-to-head with the Wood, Blue Grass and Ark Derby and while these guys will act like it is on just an interim basis because of the reconstruction project, do not be surprised if they are reasonably successful that he trys to make this a permanent thing.

Personally I think the field will resemble the Aventura but may get some interest because of the Graded Earnings. Things are watered down enough as it is and we do not need to have ANOTHER big three year race then. So why are they doing it. Probably because Stronach says I want that space for myself.

Good Luck. Also the whole upcoming meet sounds like a complete disaster. Frank be ready to hear your accountant utter the following words for ohh I don't know the fourth time in the last four years: "We are going to have to take another write-down."
