The reason that I know that about the horrible dirt surface in Cali before synthetic is because someone I know is closely associated with a lot of the big guys in racing out on the west coast. Wish he would pipe in on this thread because a lot of these questions would get answered.

Shirreffs is one of the good guys in racing, and is a terrific, conservative trainer. If he says that there are more hind-end injuries, then that is more than likely the case. I trust his judgment.

You're so connected. Can I have your autograph?

Only if I do something that is worth having my autograph taken.

it doesn't take connections to know that the dirt surfaces out there had been needing help for a while.
give it a rest already.

The track has tightened back down the times should be pretty close to normal today . It really is pretty cool that we had rain off and on for 3 days and training never stopped , the track did get slower but as I said before when it rains its going to be slower.
