True. First quarter and you could tell the three front runners were toast.

To me saying the rail was good is lazy and the kind of thing that leads some handicappers (not you) to get married to bad opinions that aren’t correct. Especially since the track was so fair yesterday.

I think it was fair today. Every horse that won on dirt was 1st or 2nd betting choice, with the exception of War of Will (3rd choice) and Lexitonian who won a 3 way photo over 2 horses that were nowhere near the rail.

I actually didn’t watch much of the other races so was just taking his word for it. I think the only other races I watched were on turf.
