It may be early but why not discuss something different, instead of focusing on the syth/dirt debate? Thats' been kicked around to death around here. With Old Fashioned out there does seem to be a lack of pace this year. Maybe there will be a late addition, but this race looks completely opposite to the probable pace set up when we were capping in 01 when there were legitimately 3-4 speed horses.
