if the juvy runners came out of AP so badly, you would expect runners across the board to come out of it very poorly -- as juvy runners come out of it fine at other tracks when older horses come out of it fine as well.
i just think it's a little bit of a reach, homer or not, to say it's the track for sure when no other dirt horses seemed to have a problem coming out it any more than they would from any other BC race. |
You can't compare 2yo's to fully developed horses, it's not the same thing, that's too far for them at that point in their careers, it wasn't the surface, it was the distance, it was the 1st time the Juvy had been run at 1 1/8th and it proved to be disasterous....
