Here's what I remember from last year:
Asmussen horses did very well their second race over the track.
Speaking of Asmussen,Contreras came in to ride for him mid-meet or so and never put up a bad ride.
Quinonez /Pompell/Borel rode poorly.........especially Quinonez.
Chris Hartman was overbet a lot.
Paul Holthus couldn't catch a break.........he's probably due some luck.
Kenny Smith was cold early.......hot late.
After the first two weekends the track played fair,with the exception of an inside speed bias for one week around the middle of the meet.
Boyd Caster did well early in the meet.........especially with some of the Gary/Mary West lesser stock.
If you like chalk.........don't even bother.
