Beyer: Changing the Derby Trial figure

[Travis Stone]

...just to add though... I've been sitting in the office when a track super came in and asked if he should speed up the track for Super Derby. Luckily here no one cares about a fast raw time and so no "souped up" tracks have really occurred at LAD since I've been here.

Also, our rail gets pretty deep. I've asked about it. He said the water truck has a hard time covering the inside path like the rest of the track. So when we have extended periods with no rain, the rail gets deep. Most of the jockeys, however, don't pick up on it.

Lots of little nuances at play when it comes to surfaces.
