Black,
I thought it was a great one. I have to be honest, I try and avoid playing when the track is sealed. I just can't hit. I once told our common friend that I would pay him 100 bucks on a day when the track was sealed to tie me to a chair and not let me free until the last race was over, would be cheaper than playing.
How I long for the days of my youth when sloppy tracks meant making huge cash. In those good old days before sealing, sloppy tracks meant that anyone with off track pedigree knowledge and an ability to isolate who the speed was, could make a nice score. Not anymore, when I watch races conducted over sealed surfaces I just see a whole bunch of horses who arent handling it, a few who dont detest it quiet so much, and maybe one or two who can handle it. Gives me fits.
