A recap of how the early leader at the first call did today at PID:
* Race #1: Pace setter finishes 3rd at 120/1 odds in a field of 10.
* Race #2: Pace setter wins by 9 lengths and pays $28.80 to win
* Race #3: Pace setter finishes 2nd at 9/1 in field of 9.
* Race #4: Pace setter wins by 5 lengths and pays $20.80 to win
* Race #5: Pace setter runs 2nd at 6/1 odds in a field of 9.
* Race #6: Pace setter 4th at 6/1 odds in field of 8
* Race #7: Pace setter wins by 7 lengths and pays $7.80
* Race #8: Pace setter wins by 3.5 lengths and pays $49.60
4 of the 8 races won wire-to-wire in blowout fashion - 3 of them by longshots.
Of the 4 races run at one mile, two went to Post #1, one went to Post #2, and the other went to a horse who cleared the entire field in about 8 jumps despite starting from the 9 hole.
But yeah, The Fat Man will tell you that DIRT has unfair SPEED biases and is a BAD surface .. but synthetic is like God's surface because racing is so FAIR on it.
