I did take note the other day while thinking, that while I don't discount the concept of rail trips contributing to Sense's great success, let's not overlook the track angle.

Let's toss his debut as we are willing to toss most horse's debuts with excuses.

That leaves us with one loss on a sloppy mess at Arlington, two losses on Polytrack (including one in one of the most strangely run races in recent memory), and no losses on a fast dirt track.

Perhaps it's a combination of both? I get that he has had great trips and really in no way mean to throw that aside, but outside of his game maiden race, he has never lost on a fast track.

Could it be that the footing affects him equally? Just tossing it out there.
