I would say it is inconclusive, but I tend to agree with Mike, and thought the rail definitely helped. The winner was steadied very hard on the backstretch and didn't angle wide until very late on the turn and it does seem as though the track held the second horse safe.

Now, I may need the bias to hold, as I am live in the double to the 1 and 5, and one of them should have the lead.

You deserve the medal of valor for being so brave as to bet the DD.
You deserve to win. Good luck!!!

Hooves he did it off the lead but he was on the rail the whole way until he swung out. The 7 was under heavy artillery fire the whole way and still held the place. The rail still looks golden to me.
Most "speed" biases are really just rail biases.
I'll watch the next few, really love Crafty Cammack today and wanted to make a late pik-4 keying him as a single. But hes drawn outside and won't be right on the lead in all probablity.
I'm hoping its changed, but I think the rail is still golden. How did the 7 hold 2nd? I mean he was under hard drive on the turn and still held the place.
I hate those golden rail biases worse than anything, so I'm gonna watch and wait. Hoping you are correct as I love Cammack today amd wanna play the pik-4.

Well, I thought the winner of the first could have been the speed and I clearly thought he was the best horse.

In the second I just tried to make the speed and bet against the silly odds on favorite. Smart Halory may win but I'll take my chances against and the 1 or 5 should be the speeds and they also both appear to have a smidgeon of upside.

I like the logic on the bet. I singled Halory one day when she ran 2nd and she was just too horrible for words. She could win as you know, but at 4-5 there isn't any way you do anything but pass the race or bet against her.
