Gulfstream Turf Course
 

Is there a way to find out what course they are running on, it does not say if they will be on the 'inner' or the 'outer' turf course that they have created at Gulfstream. For today specifically, it shows the 7th to be run with a rail at 72 feet, which I would assume outer course, but what about the others?

We're working on getting it to the web site... but the "inner" is 0 feet while the outer is 72 feet.

Isn't there 3-4 rail settings though?

Thanks

Yes... there are actually 10 lanes.... and two of them will be used at any time.

Lane 1 0'
Lane 2 12'
Lane 3 24'
Lane 4 36'
Lane 5 48'
Lane 6 60'
Lane 7 72'
Lane 8 84'
Lane 9 96'
Lane 10 108'

Doesn't it usually mean that the higher the rail setting the more difficult it is for a closer to get a trip because the course is more narrow. I remember BFree saying that on the show one afternoon.....of course that was SoCal and not sure how there would be any difference in the concept.

So 1-5 on the inner and 6 through 10 on the outer?

Thanks Travis, appreciate it greatly. Enjoy yourself some Alyssa Ali

As I understand it, they could, if necessary, variate and go 0, 6 or 0, 5 or whatever... will post back here once I know more.

the first turn is the key outside horses must send for position..

oh boy.

Great start . . . . :rolleyes:

Maybe they should have serviced the John Deere since last winter.:tro:

I didn't see what happened but see the 3rd race was a refund??

The big Gulfstream meet. LOL

what happened?

gate was still on the track as they turned for home, many riders started pulling up. gotta fill up the tank for opening day!

Since you are a big wig there now, can you do something about the finish lines on the turf course. Watch the 5th race and tell me how a bettor can have any opinion about who wins, when you don't know where the finish line is.

A simple piece of red tape will do, I'll fed-ex it to ya if they don't want to spend the loot...

Thank you

Then run over to Calder and fix that one too!

It was going to be addressed as of today...

As a sidebar to the temporary rail positioning, after Wednesday, Posts 9, 10 & 11 had produced 4 of the first 5 turf route winners. All but Wednesday feature fave Tight Precision came from mid-pack or further back.

Charts for WED. 1/6 (Races 5, 7, 8)

Charts for Sunday 1/3 (Races 5, 7)

I know its early, but that's a similar pattern to the first month or so of last years meet, where posts 8 and out where winning with alarming regularity.
