That was a great run.

I couldn't believe how suddenly horses were stopping at the top of the stretch.

It was like Conveyance and Sidney's Candy were suddenly running in quicksand.

I have no idea what they are going to do regarding variant but I can't imagine the number would be much higher than a 96 or 97 maybe even less.

The track played fast all day really so unless these last couple races go slow they can't really cut the race loose from the rest of the card. Would be suprised if they gave him anything above a 97.

The fudging seems pretty obvious. What else are you referring to?
