Just keep playin the speed. This track is favoring the early speed types, as expected.

I wouldn't say that definitively.

The wretched route race was an exception. The rest of em, yes, the early speed is holding. The sealed tracks are like wet airport runways.

Optimistic Steve is a closer and I just don't think this track plays to that. But this is a route. Good choice.

edit : oops, OS finished 3rd after being involved earlier.

The best horses have been winning. . . the results make sense. You can't scream bias because a few horses win on the front end unless those results seem out of whack.

Please. It's a sealed speed favoring track and most know that. All you have to do is look at the running styles on the brisnet pp and you limit the field to a few horses.

In the feature the sprinter Orientate sired the fav Ocean Colors. Makes sense to me today. The Saarland as 2nd choice ? I'd prefer the Yes It's True filly more . That's w/o any looks at the pp.
