west coast tracks were notoriously tough on horses--the surfaces were too hard. whether it was the location, weather, or what....take note of how many less euros shipped to the bc when it was in cali. i remember the months leading up to the last time it was held out west. everyone was complaining, they didn't want to ship out there and compete on that track. remember that mineshaft retired rather than go out there? no one liked the surfaces out there.
mandella won half the card that day--he had a homefield advantage.
