Track seems to be playing slowly thus far, will be interesting to see what kind of time UH runs (assuming he wins).

The track has been very slow all week.

I thought so, but I hadn't seen enough dirt races to make that call. Even the early fractions are molasses.

Yeah.. he looked great...

Looks like Mint Lane might be a nice three-year-old after all.

Results anyone?

Mint Lane dusted Admirality by about 5 lengths after setting a respectable pace. Unbridled's Heart third, less than a length (I think) behind Admirality.

Unbridled's Heart = Harlem Rocker

I don't think that is fair to Harlem Rocker. HR might just not be a polytrack horse. Unbrideled's Heart was very green but no real excuses.

The winner might be a really nice horse, which makes me think Casino Drive might be a freaky horse. The sad thing is he might not race on dirt again this year, so we will have no idea how good he is.

Certainly getting left didn't help, and the way Castellano put him in behind horses, instead of staying in the clear, must have been by instructions, but Unbridled's Heart sure had nothing.

The final time was so fast that I find it hard to believe that the track hasn't changed. Either that or Mint Lane just emerged as the best 3YO in the country. It will be interesting to see the other dirt race times.....oh yeah there's only one....a very weak field of maiden claimers going 6F. Tough race to make a figure for.

I was thinking before the race that any time under 1:44 would be pretty remarkable.

There's only one more dirt race and that is a crappy NYB maiden claimer. I missed the first quarter of the race and was wondering why Castellano had Unbridled's Heart on the inside on Admirality and behind Mint Lane.
