true, in my memory as a racing fan, (albeit only about an 8 year memory
), there has not been a crop like that coming out of a juvy BC race -- it's still going to be one of those things that could very possibly be coincidence.
if the juvy runners came out of AP so badly, you would expect runners across the board to come out of it very poorly -- as juvy runners come out of it fine at other tracks when older horses come out of it fine as well.
i just think it's a little bit of a reach, homer or not, to say it's the track for sure when no other dirt horses seemed to have a problem coming out it any more than they would from any other BC race.
