My question is why not stretch to 7f and give some of the trainers who's stock really wants the longer route a shot. It's been 4 months of 6f sprints.

Oh I agree about the conditioned junk, I can't stand them at this level. They have a place in lower level racing, where a majority of horses graduate at the maiden claiming level and quite frankly would be overmatched against straight claimers.

I realize PJ Campo has a difficult job with the current stock but man these cards are just terrible. Hopefully Wood day is the official start of spring racing.
