![]() Guys, this has been on my mind all summer, but I never seem to remember to post this when I log into this site.
Why doe Delaware Park have so many scratches? It seems like even when conditions are fast and firm, they still have a bunch?

what, you don't like a competitive 3 horse field? I think it's b/c they draw entries pretty early as aposed to most circuits like NY who draw like 2 day advances i believe -bt- |

I think it has more to do with the missing mid-level claimers. You rarely see them in MD the rest of the year so not many transfer up to Delpark when MD closes. Then you have the games that are played by the MJC holding MD trainers to task for running out of state - and since the Del meet starts in Apr while MD still has essentially 2 months to run, doesn't help fill the fields. Philly Park horses just seem a notch below Delpark and MD horses so once Apr and May are over, they don't help fill the fields. Then another part of it is the poor condition of Del's turf course, and the fact that they run cheap turf races at Colonial. Bad trainers with bad horses that have run poorly on dirt salivate at Colonial's opening. That way, they have some hope that maybe trying the turf will help the horse run through their bad training job. When that doesn't work, they go back to running in bad races in MD come Aug. |

![]() as i type this message their is going to be a match race at Delaware Park. A field of 6 got 4 scratches and now there are 2 horses left, instead of canceling the race I'm watching 2 horses circle in the paddock.
In case your wondering the #1 is the overwhelming favorite @ 1-5 vs. the other horse at 1-1 this is pretty low -bt- |
