Maybe this is nitpicking, but shouldn't they know what distance a race is for MTO's if it comes off the turf? For example in todays Spa 11th, what is the point of printing a horse's record and tomlinson at the 1 mile distance the race was scheduled to be run on turf in the MTO PP's when the MTO's will be running at 7 furlongs if the race is taken off?

These are some of the best races to bet, my favorites. You have to handicap it yourself fast after the surface switch and late scratches, hoping a lot of people are relying on the comments and rankings that were made for the original surface. It's usually written into the conditions but not always like the 11th. Know your track. Can't run 1m or 8.5f on the main at Saratoga. Older go 9f, younger go 7f.

I had a good laugh at a comment a few weeks ago on a Frank Calabrese owned horse at AP:

suspicious drop in class.
