i was not saying that every horse that had the rail would automatically win, or that every horse with the 1 post would get the rail. but when horses keep making huge moves up the rail, and the #1 horse keeps winning every race, i think it would be something which a good capper would notice, which you said you did not.
it seemed fast to me but i wasn't sure. then i heard doug o'neil say it was insanely fast....and i trust his opinion.

i know you loved invasor on saturday, and i've been there with you all summer -- no surprise to me on saturday at all that he won.
i just don't think that this whole boo-hooing that everyone is doing about the rail being a "paved highway" and moaning about the CD crew souping it up is all it's cracked up to be.
only for round pond could a case be made that the rail made a difference in my opinion -- the other four are very easy to explain and all four of those clearly and quite easily refute the notion that the inside was heavily biased.
