Nice, fair and safe starts these gates provide. ;-)

I'm just glad this Rollins didn't hit a Tree.
It was quite a few strides out of the gate when it happened. It was at the gap that the horse bore in.

As far as GGF, i was down there a few weeks ago, talked to alot of horseman and they all to a T, were praising the surface. the fields sure look bigger there as well.

Michael Wrona even praised the surface by saying "Even when its rainy out i can see the silks on the closers cause there is no mud"

Synthetics even helping us on the roof!!

Two-year-old maiden races - barely controlled chaos, entropy in action. I shut my eyes and hope everyone comes home safe.
