saturdays track grooming derby
 

Looking back especially at wire to wire winners, there were observations that the track was maintained/rolled on those days speed did well, i.e. Spend A Buck. Old School Kentucky is probably bristling at R Dutrows brashness so I would think a slower track might be on order for Saturday or would a tight hard track prove more detrimental to Dutrow?

Just a conspiracy theory..nothing like this has ever gone on ath the Derby..except for Dancers Image of course

its supposed to rain on fri at some point..thus giving them the cover to make the 20 path hard as a rock with a 8 deg bank in the turns......
