I don't think there's any doubt of that. I would gather guys like JV, Leparoux, Cohen, Flores, etc., will be riding real races elsewhere earlier in the day, then coming on down to Charles Town for a night cap. Too bad Travis Dunkelberger is out with a busted back.

Luzzi should just stay down there, at least through Saratoga anyway. Those 4 1/2 furlong races would be right in his wheelhouse.

I only found that out because someone asked Illman in his blog where Fogelsonger was these days, and he produced an article on Dunkelberger. That's fair enough though, who wouldn't confuse those two names?

It's dirt in some form or fashion, though it looks a lot more like clay up close.

Didnt Ah Day just run in the carter? If so, that is awfully quick to run him again.

This surface is hard and those turns are tough and on top of that, 9f is three turns. A lot to ask of an older sprinter on two weeks rest.

I hope he comes back okay and grabs a share. He has been a nice horse for his connections.
