Wasn't the first Keeneland meet after poly known for the early speed essentially being a liabilty with closers at long unfathomable odds paying like Xmas for those with imagination for seemingly random outcomes. Del Mar may be Xmas in July for the 40+ days this summer.....

The races were run like alot of turf race where all the riders waited and made that charge to the wire when they turned for home. Del Mar will be a watch and see what the riders try to do before you can handicap a race.

So far, we haven't seen the riding lunacity at the other synthetic meets; TP, WO and AP haven't had that.

Maybe it was a bunch of NY riders who were at Kee. Virtually every turf route in NY is run will a crawlfest pace with every rider leaning back in the irons to restrain.
