Derby day = gold rail
Preakness = gold rail
Belmont = gold rail
They all soup up the rail on the big days looking for headlines. Someday Belmont will get that 2:24 they’re looking to get.

I never really thought he had a chance when I saw the fractions. But when he was still in front at the 1/8th pole, I had a glimmer of hope for a second. Then I had some minor hope again that they would put up Nitrous when they had the stewards' inquiry against the winner.
I agree with you that many tracks soup up the track on the big days, thinking that that it will be good publicity if they get a track record. But I don't think it's just the rail. I think it's the whole track.
