Turfway Stigma

I remember last year when Biancone started running a bunch there and I wondered if he was hard up for some quality horses or slipping down a notch, etc...

It just seems like it is really s hitty, and I'm not sure I would be thrilled about being up there if I were a trainer/owner.

Well Biacone, Pletcher, Lukas, Baffert, Romasn, Blasi/Asmussen all have stalls at Turfway for the fall meet. They have done several changes that I listed in a earlier post. I think the fall meet has tons to offer to trainers for their 2nd tier crop of horses. Should be a good fall meet.

I read your post about the changes, Euro. Thanks.

It still seems like it is terrible to me when I go visit. I won't even drive the 70 miles to go see live racing because the atmosphere and horses are so sub-par compared to Churchill-Keeneland.
