Does anyone else find this track to be tougher to cap? Or is it just me.

They do an excellent job of changing up the surface. When you think you have the bias down, the next day it's different. Some would say that there is really very little track bias, but I have seen a sizzling rail go deep overnight and going four wide at the top of the stretch work for the deep closers. I really thought this might have been Mario Pino's strategy on Hard Spun only to go wide in last year's Southwest Stakes because the four and five hole were hot the days before. Tueflesburg closes inside to win. Hard Spun ships out.
Key Luis Q. or Calvin Bo-Rail in your exotics.
