Seems pretty unreasonable of Churchill if you ask me.

Still, the Euro's can whine with the best of them.

I agree, my reference was to the poll results.

I looked at some of the other polls and was surprised that Midday was edging out Sarafina 33% to 31 % to win the Turf.

- they also have California Flag on top of the Turf Sprint poll with 21% of the votes... and 42% support Big Drama in the sprint.

Dogs are out and open for training this am.

Why couldn't they have put dogs up even wider than lane 3 and let them work between the dogs and the outer rail?

less than a handful of horses, only 15 mins of rain. and like bigs said, move the dogs out more.
