Saratoga should be embarrassed by this track

Then you have riders who seem clueless to me.

Can anyone tell me why Ricardo Santana took the 1 off the rail for the stretch run in the 7th. when you need to be near the rail?

Hoping sooner or later I can capitalize on this inside biased track if I aint broke.

Also, Coal Truth might be a really nice horse.

Not just in the stretch. He literally tried the entire race to get off the rail.

While I bet the 3 the first at Sar today is the perfect example

the 3 was under fire dueling the whole way on the inside, the chalk who was dropping trying to get a win at saratoga gets a 3w3w stalking trip behind the two speeds, moves up at the QP like a winner and then just cant get by.

Makealittlelove (J. Ortiz) was tight to the rail on the turn and spun into the 3-path in the lane and drifted into the 4- or 5-path down the lane. The rail is likely deeper today explaining this one's position. Friend of Liberty (I. Ortiz) was indeed three deep on the turn, but Irad let his mount tread water from the 5/16ths to the quarter pole. If you are going to go three deep, keep your momentum going forward; otherwise just wheel out at the quarter pole. Based on the head-on, it does look like the 4-path might be sought out today ... but that was only one race.

and Gobi? he was on the rail the whole race

how about the 8 in the 2nd race? you notice all these horses are coming up short?

and while the term rail is used it can be synonymous with being further inside. you can win off the rail, you just have to spend a considerable time of the race on it.

Understand your point completely. What I am noticing is that NO ONE is changing positions from the first two races, aside from the tiring Super Duper Girl (24-1).

yea....

the 4th if the pletcher horse saves some ground at some point he should run by all these, there is pace in this Off turf event but this horse is worlds better than these horses.

LOLZ

two inside horses run 1-3 and I could argue both were badly outclassed by the 2B

The 10 actually ran the best race
