When will the opening day entries be released? Normally it seems like that they would have been out by now.

Yes, though I don't plan to leave as early. Making sure my son continues to recover well from a recent bout with pneumonia.

Today. They've always been released on Tuesday since opening day was moved to Friday.

I like the way they put the state breds in the beginning of the card. I've been advocating for this for years. Not that I like them, but if they're going to have them, keep them together so when I put my state-bred handicapping hat on, for example when playing a pick 3, I'm not jumping back and forth.

good job

I have seen a forecast of high in the upper 70s with a 20% chance of rain. So I give it an 80% chance of your prayers being answered favorably.

Anyone get the TFUS 3-day special? (GOOD deal!)

I just looked at it, but I don't see where you pick your days - or do you just start on Friday for the weekend?

Ok...
Please pass along my wishes for a speedy recovery.
FYI, I will be in Upstate NY Aug 6th thru the 11th

He's doing well, Spaah, thank you so much. :)

I'm usually there from the beginning of August until a couple of days after the Travers. This time, I may not be there before your trip ends. Still...have a great vacation, and cash some nice tickets. Maybe see you next year? :ThmbUp:

Ok....Sucks you'll not be there. But family is family....No worries.
Thanks for the good luck wishes. I'll see what I can do...Hopefully I can sneak up on the racing "gremlins" so they don't see me.....

So how exactly do you get this offer?
There is no option for it on the website where you buy cards???
It was there the other day, not today.
I had hoped to not have to buy DRF , but it is too late now to wait any longer.

OK, I got there through my email, but now, I buy three days and get stuck with TODAY as one of them,
At 10 PM at night!

I wanted Fri-Sun, but to get that. you cannot get PPS early
That sucks. My last purchase, for sure.

Tom, this can be corrected in a New York minute. Email the guys at TFUS so you don't miss out on what you'd planned for your weekend. They've helped me in the past, (and the present, see other thread where O-C has helped me). They'll straighten out your purchase quickly. ;)

Thanks, GRITS, I did and they fixed it this time, but the policy is you cannot buy the "deal" early. So much for it being a deal. Do they play the races over there? :rolleyes:
