Phil - tell me you're kidding about being okay with Havre De Grace getting a 115 and Derwin's Star getting a 112 in the same race?
I posted what I thought the number should be- a 105, with an 87 and 90 for the other two stakes.

Phil ... why would the number matter at all unless someone is paying you to make them for every race?

Those weren't exactly ideal conditions for figure making.

In that vein- what I say doesn't mean anything in the end, since I don't get paid for it. But those that make figures for the DRF, the largest and most important racing rag in the country, have an obligation to their readers to publish what they believe to be the most accurate figure possible since people DO pay for the information- just like the chart caller has the obligation to truthfully report the lengths beaten, etc.
If they feel that 94 is the right number, so be it. No argument that it was a challenging day. However, in my humble opinion, they have missed the boat here.

The charts at DEL are just about the worst in terms of accuracy that I've seen. I mean seriously bad. Worse than AP, even.

Anybody know what Nicanor pulled? Shame that race came off the turf. He tried to gut it out. Not raced on dirt in awhile has he? I heard he's got a stubborn streak. Maybe slowing him down on the lead isn't a good thing. Just let him go.

90 for Nicanor in the Sussex.

Nicanor did something to a front leg or hoof during the running. Lots of looking down at it when he returned to be unsaddled.
