I like what they've done to the turf course. It plays like real grass now instead of the carpet nonsense they have out west (the way it has played the last few years). Even though the scores have eluded me, I like the meet they've put on. Where quality is lacking, there's quantity, and of course not having to worry about a sloppy track or off-the-turf handicapping is nice.

Speed bias on the main LAST WEEKEND...FK that place. Not surprised Wesley Ward moved down there. Wish he would stay down there. Never come back. That's just my opinion. Notice, I didn't respond to someone else's opinion. I don't know why people can't just give their opinion. You don't have to come run in and respond to someone else's opinion. It's o.k. if people don't agree.

Best it's been in recent years, cutting back to five racing days a week helps.

That's the key.


Less races / larger, more competitive fields.


Now we need fewer tracks PLUS less races and racing across the board would be better for the bettor.

Well(Mr. Dr. Professor, sir,) It depends on the subject at hand. If it's a new subject, then I agree. However, this is not a new subject(whether one likes or dislikes this track's main track.) The arguments are well known.

That's a terrific question. I don't recall there being any type of bias at all. Don't tell me it's because Delightful Kiss couldn't get there in the SM Classic.

from the races I've seen, been fair not only to speed/closer, but pretty fair with gate position too.
