It seems to me the three new races would have to be run at night for maximum exposure on a Friday -- probably starting at 9:00 PM EST for a prime-time Pick Three. If the weather is good, it should be great for the local economy.
In fact, why not swap the Juvenile Filly and Distaff for the new Juvenile Turf and Dirt Mile and make Friday Ladies Night.
BTW the single best promotion to increase on-track attendance outside the BC might be to either not charge admission for women or else give them a bet-only wager voucher. It might be interesting to see if there was a simultaneous increase in cross-dressing.
