But he didn't try too hard to get interest. You can't make a half-hearted effort--sounds like it was even less than that--and do a private fee, then expect them to be beating down your door.

The track records for the old dirt course that was removed several years ago should remain on the books as the records for that course. This is a new course, a new surface, like when they enlarged Gulfstream and put in a new surface on a new base. The records set on this new surface should be for this surface only. When do you think that the speed figure guys will admit that their figures for this new Santa Anita surface are off kilter? <grin>

The speed figure guys are hardily the problem? The people making the figs are fine. The track is new and will take some time to develop into what it should be.
