Del Mar - Initial thoughts?

[ultracapper]

drugs, i don't think these horses are coming back tired. the races look ugly, and look like everybody is tiring, and the times look like every horse is tired, but the trainers are saying that their horses aren't coming out of these races as tired as they came out of the dirt races. the times are slower, but i bet it has more to do with footing than being tired. the track maintenance will work this out, as they did at hollywood, and the times will quicken. hollywood, albeit a different surface, started playing very well this spring. i thought just like "honest dirt", not like a super highway that is meant to give every 3yo optional claimer a chance to run 108 and change.
