sighned, disgruntled in glens falls

Trackfacts salute! :tro:

As unhappy as I was that two races came off the turf, I really don't think you realize how hard it rained, and frankly most tracks would have taken all the races off. The turf was good Saturday, look at the times, and the deluge today was rough.

The grass doesn't dry out at this time of year like it does in July or August. The sun is less warm and the days much shorter.
Also (as I learned from my lawn guy) during the summer most grasses are in growing mode. Their roots are absorbing water and nutrients from the soil to aid fast growth. In October, the growth has slowed and as it does, the roots are taking less water out of the soil.

that may be and i respect your opinion..but they gave that race to dutrow.. imo by taking it off

Wow.

I can't even begin to imagine the kind of perverted logic someone has to use to arrive at that conclusion.

I thought the usual complaint about Belmont was that every other race is a turf sprint?

in that he had an obvious single in the pick six on the off with all the scratches..run all the races that are carded for the turf.or none..:wf

You're a great guy.....this defies belief and shows a real misunderstanding.
