I am working on creating "gallop out figures" and plan on using them as a handicapping tool in my arsenal.

I am hoping to get some feedback from people on here, especially the person responsible for starting the thread 2 weeeks before The Derby on whether or not we will have a sloppy track for The Derby.

the fourth place horse will have the best gallop out. but he'll skip the preakness in order to be fresh for the belmont. this will anger those betting this angle, especially if the gallop out winner is a sprinter/miler type. they will wail and gnash their teeth while raging that said horse will not be able to benefit from the 'tight turns at pimlico'.
