they did a lot of work on oaklawns surface after last season. the change has been remarkable, since a year ago not one horse won at oaklawn who made their previous start on an AWT.
will it translate to churchill? i don't know. they claim that the hot springs and louisville track are remarkably similar. we'll see.
