That just doesn't make any sense at all.

Many trainers take part in the Oregon/Washington circuit running their horses at PM in the winter time and then off to Emd for the spring and summer.

Not to mention Oregon still has a fair circuit that runs all summer.

PM has been getting record handle since they started racing on Mondays, Tuesday and Wednesday's, not sure why they would be looking to change things up.

Sorry to hear about this, not sure where all the horses are going to come from to fill the races.

another thing that PM has working for it is that, there is very light turf racing around the country and it's non existent in the winter up in the northwest. so no one is really looking for turf races.

but PM doesn't have a turf course. so think about all the lower level horses that go to say PM and then head to Arizona or golden gate for the summer to find turf races.

this is just really really stupid.
