Saratoga should be embarrassed by this track

how about the 8 in the 2nd race? you notice all these horses are coming up short?

and while the term rail is used it can be synonymous with being further inside. you can win off the rail, you just have to spend a considerable time of the race on it.

Understand your point completely. What I am noticing is that NO ONE is changing positions from the first two races, aside from the tiring Super Duper Girl (24-1).

yea....

the 4th if the pletcher horse saves some ground at some point he should run by all these, there is pace in this Off turf event but this horse is worlds better than these horses.

LOLZ

two inside horses run 1-3 and I could argue both were badly outclassed by the 2B

The 10 actually ran the best race

It is a day to take notes on horses who are benefitted by the bias and those who are compromised by it as the track is obviously very biased. Considering the bias the effort by the 10 was Herculean there.

11 dead horses so far isn't exactly a ringing endorsement for the track either.

These equine deaths were not from the main track racing exclusively - they occurred on the Oklahoma training track, turf courses, and the main course. Note that they also include both training and racing deaths.

For those counting, six deaths have occurred during or after a race with one of those six coming in the steeplechases.

13 as of a few days ago, but what's the solution?? Is there even one?

It's obviously the worst, most unfortunate part of the game. I just don't see it as something that's able to be 'fixed'.

Absolutely gut-wrenching, to have your horse training/racing at North America's premier meet (in what is supposed to be the high of highs), only to meet their most untimely demise.

On Monday, I was shocked to watch Mizz Tutu run down Novique coming from last with a 3/8ths to run ... and she came along the rail inside of Novique with Santana in the three-path.

You cant handicap that, its just blind luck which has definitely been a hamper on the account, and I will likely pull back on the play until it seems a bit more fair....more energy needed in the note taking.
