![]() Apparently Thoro-Graph believes so. They are dishing out the X symbol (meaning raced on dead rail) for all horses who raced primarily inside on Kentucky Oaks day.
Authenticity (5/1 winner of the La Troienne Stakes) was the only horse on the card to win despite getting the X symbol. No second place finisher got the X symbol. Midnight Lucky (5th by 9 lengths) and Silsita (10th by 43 lengths) were the only two Kentucky Oaks horses who got the symbol. |

![]() Remember Super Saver's year?
Everything that day either won from right on top of the rail or extremely wide. |

![]() Maybe I am that gullible for thinking there might be a little something to that, on sloppy racetracks. And after her little demo on tv it fed my gullibility. I don't know.
Michael Dickinson always believed in that stuff and he had an excellent training record. He also asked the lady who runs the clubhouse restaurant at PID what her favorite kind of tree is. She told me "that is one odd, odd guy. No one has ever asked me what my favorite kind of tree is" |

We try and figure out when there are dead rails or vice versa all the time, based on what our eyes tell us. You had someone actually on the track showing you where the footing is better. Good enough for me. |

You do believe in dead rails and rails that are golden right? How do you think that happens? What about courses that when wet carry speed, like Belmont in the early part of yesterday? |

I didn't see or even knew Beholder fell until I got home from the race and saw this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCt9d...ature=youtu.be I really didn't expect the race she ran on Friday from her. |

I guess I found the fact you thought Donna Barton was irresponsible for walking the track and having an opinion odd....yet you are watching a 15 second clip and diagnosing a horses condition from your computer screen. |
