Pretty annoyed I won't get to hear my horse called, I'm sure other players are too.

I understand that The Steward needs time off (I mean come on, babies!) but on the other hand, why should some people get to hear their horses called and others not? If only some races are called, I vote that no races should be called at all.

I voted for all 22 :) Though most of my entries are in on Thursday anyway but only 1 in the sc turf juve, the other two are in the sprint races. I would love to hear the mile, f&m turf, sprint and filly & mare sprint.

I'm in agreement with the Daybreak and forget calls bandwagon.
Don't post anything, it might upset someone.

My write-in is to go back to 13 Steward's Cup races (The 4 main juvy races, then turf sprint, dirt sprint, F&M dirt sprint, dirt mile, turf mile, F&M turf, distaff, turf, classic). Then the Steward will have time to focus on making the event awesome.

Race calls generally take me 2-8 hours to write (depending on if it's the short day or the long day). Daybreak takes 20-25 hours. I vote a big fat no to Daybreak.... not until the kids are in daycare or preschool or something! ;-)

I would like to change my vote to 22 race calls, with Scott having to make a corny sim-related joke between each one.

I got confused and thought the 22 races option was actually a Thursday and Friday only even though I read the paragraph first. Though for me it doesn't matter because my horses aren't TBs. I'd love to hear their names called for ONCE and feel like we're part of the SC festival but I can understand though I liked how we did it last time they all were called and Em had someone else call the mixers. I thought that worked really well honestly.

ETA: I picked the none called option because I'm selfish and just want my babies to have spotlight too.

Color me confused but I've never had anyone else call races, it's always been just me. So the couple of times we had mixer calls were also me...

I know when I Emceed the mixers, it was a super long night (but fun) even though the races were like 10 seconds long.

I'd just let the race calls slide. If you aren't going to do it for all of them, don't do it for any, but I voted to just skip it all together.
