Default One note at Penn

They have full fields which is awesome

You are right about the rally wide path at Mountaineer I tell ya also

speed at Mountaineer goes a long way b/c the the the final turn to the finish line is only 908 feet.

Also Mountaineer has big fields.

Horses for courses at Mountaineer which is a very unique track.

When Charles Town comes up really thick and mucky, outside posts seem to do well, especially in the 4.5f sprints....

Have to agree with theiman. The rail and 2 paths are really bad at Mountaineer. Even the 3 path a bit although it isn't impossible to win there. But the riders are aware of this, so most of the field will be in the area of the 3 to 8 path. I would avoid speed horses in posts 1-3. As for the grass, speed on the Mnr lawn seems better than on most turf courses. And unlike New York, where you see crawlfests in virtually every grass race, they aren't afraid to gun from the gate on the Mnr turf.
