Not sure he really deserves it.
California synthetic is a different beast then poly. I should have been more clear. You want to be 5w, especially on the final turn. If I was smart enough, I would have been tracking the winners since it started, but I would say 70% of the winners come from the 3-5 path on the final turn. RARELY do you see a horse go gate to wire on the rail. Rail is almost always bad
