I do'nt know where you got this dead rail and closers doing well because this weekend it was speed on top of speed. Some closers won but speed has been doing really well lately. I agree earlier in the meet the rail was dead but when it gets hotter, the rail gets TIGHTER. I, for one, will be unloading on speed horses this coming week. We have had no rain in three days now, nothing but sun baking it....
