The only one that is wider then Torres is Eddie Perez.....Saturday was the first time he has shot the rail since he started riding Arlington this year (High Expectations) The hotter it gets at Arlington, the harder the rail gets, thus the longer speed will hold....

This is right around the time that speed starts to dominate Arlington and if it spits outside they pull turf races off because it has to be PERFECT for double d.

I doubt the inside will stay good, or even ok. The rail was terrible virtually the entire 2005 meet.

My brother Scav I hope you were all over that Mena horse at Churchill....just got back from trackside and he made my day very good...

JJP let me know when you see Torres on the rail after it opens up on the turn.....you never will because he is already 6 wide....Mena is one of the nicest riders I have ever meet playa, I bet he was joking, he jokes around alot.

You go to work on your off days? Can't get enough of Arlington can you?

Habersham, do you ever work at Trackside? If so doing what? I'm trying to figure out who you are. I know I must have crossed paths with you hundreds of times.

I'll tell you guys this, Mena moving to KY can only be beneficial for people like us that have seen him day in and day out. Guy couldn't ride a speed horse to save his life but he is going to be an automatic play for me on ANY closer down there.

ArlJim....nope don't work at Trackside buy just hang out there a couple days a week usually to play Hollywood or Lone Star after Arlington is done racing....I do work at Arlington though...my job is very unimportant there but is fun because I don't do much and is very laid back.....plus I have one of the best boss at Arlington (its not Mr. D)
