Why doesn't Mountaineer race on Thursdays and Fridays?

Monday Through Wednesday, then Saturday and Sunday seems like a weird schedule.

On Mondays and Tuesdays, Mountaineer is the only thoroughbred track running at night. That's a smart business move, in my opinion.

i wish they ran 24 hours a day 365 days a year. because if they did i would never have to worry about another thing the rest of my life.

but i'm not being greedy, i am happy to have this schedule.

It doesn't seem so weird if you say it Saturday through
Wednesday.

they use to race Friday thru Tuesday but have gone to the Saturday thru Wednesday schedule i guess about 2 years ago

But say this in Mountaineer's favor: With a 7-furlong turf course, they actually run 7-furlong turf races.

Why Aqueduct doesn't run at least 7 1/2-furlong turf races is something I have never been able to fathom. 5-furlong turf races also: If 5-furlong turf races aren't too "Mickey Mouse" for the Breeders' Cup, then they aren't too "Mickey Mouse" for $25,000 state-bred maiden claimers.
