Early on in the meet the Calder shippers usually outperform the shippers from up north. They usually have recency on their side and the Calder racing surface is somewhat similar to Tampa's. Once they get a race or two under their belts, the Calder dominance does tend to fade.

Closers down the middle of the track in the slop. Tampa is crowned more than most tracks and when it's sloppy, the rail is a bog and the crown is the place to be.

Normally, they are dark on Monday's and that's when they will scrape the rail. So, on Tuesdays, the rail is golden (a la CD on BC day).

Good luck.
