Why can't you use normal words like SLOW or SLUGGISH so people with just college educations do not have to go to dictionary.com?

Back to topic, it was what it should normally be, but the 3rd will tell people everything they need to know about the surface today.

Edit: I'm an idiot,the 1 is scratched so the 3rd is garbage also.

Sham on SA for not putting the 5th or 7th in the 2nd spot today to give us a better indication of what the heck is going on.

What was Hammerle supposed to do? He wrote races for Friday because they were supposed to run Friday. This wasn't scheduled to be the unvieling of the hybrid surface... Yesterday was.

I don't know, but there are plenty of races today and they could have just went three dirt/three turf and given people one turf early and three dirt, carryover or no carryover, given all the adjustments and uncertainity.

Could have flip flopped the 4th/5th and 6th/7th

That was a very professional effort by Grasshopper on the comeback... Nice to see.

I was counting my Silver Lord money at the 1/4 pole. Nice ride by Albarado. Damn it!

1:50 gate to wire. Are the other horses that bad or is it jockey error?

I never understand it.. When :48+ went up I said to myself, "He's going to steal this.."

A little of each. Jocks decided to let the heavy favorite have an easy lead and cut slow fractions. For whatever reason Bridgmohan tried to rate Inca King who should have kept the pace honest and instead was rank for half the race. Not how I pictured it.
