9 furlongs, but I like more of them at every track.

at least Aqu is drawing decent enough pool size.

While I appreciate the fair track, I still think that more variety would only make the racing better. And, let's face, there are as many bad horses running in NY than just about anywhere. The beaten lengths for some of these horses are worse than what happens over at TP, for example; which is about as bad as it gets.

I'd like more at 9f but they have carded several 12f races and the configuation limits them to 6f for sprints. I'm not crazy about 5 1/2 f on dirt. It's a tough time of year to put together a card. I think they've done a decent job. Remember, short sprints (5, 5.5f) are harder on horses because they go faster and cheap horses don't hold up to that. Because of this horsemen don't like them unless they have a specialist at the distance.

Morales gunned the 8 into submission then got completely schooled by Luzzi who drives him 4 paths out trying to pass into the first turn, instead of settling and taking the inside route. Luzzi, of course, doesn't have the horse to pull that off and completely uses up the 6 doing so. Unreal. Two pinheads are solely responsible for bringing in the 59.00 winner there.

In my (very humble) opinion this years AQU Inner and GP have been FAR better than what we have had offered to us for the past few years....
