STS, can you elaborate on what your understanding is based on? Was it a particular track? Storm Cadet is saying that the Saratoga "track super" said adjustments are not done for the purpose of compensating for rail differences.
Can anyone else confirm whether the starting gate and fractional timers are moved to accomodate the additional distance caused by moving the rail out in turf races? This seems like something that should be known by several regulars here.
Thanks,

My wife and I were having lunch at Gulfstream and one of the Gulf guys sat down and we talked a while. This came up and he told me what I wrote. I believe it's true. Maybe one of the industry 'pros' who visit the board can get an answer from a track super.
