i really should pay more attention this year to the rail placement, because i always find it to be really beneficial to horses running in the 1-2-3-4 spots.

Million lane has seemed to play pretty fair on Million day the last few years -- but can't vouch for the other days. I'm looking forward to the AP meet now that I'm here on DT, because there will be plenty of discussions and selections I'd imagine.

Million Lane is far out so it usually favors closers.....when the rail is set at zero feet it favors speed and as it gets out father it favors closers.....i think the million lane is 20 feet out but I could be wrong on that

oh and on emigh, he would be a better rider if he actually didn't have to go 4 or 5 wide all the time and would actually take the rail when it is open....the man is scared of the rail
