I thought the kickback was still clearly visible. Maybe not as much as last winter, but it was definitely there.

Well there are two ingredients to the kickback. 1) the solid kickback and 2) the dust that was kicked back. I agree that the "solid" kickback was there, but the dust was much much less. The solid kickback isnt that big of a deal because that just falls right off of the horse and jock. The dust is what was the major concern. I think it can be better, but I think it was much better than the spring meet.

Euro, how do you have the handle figures?
They haven't been released anywhere I can find them. Where are they?

I have a buddy who works in the mutual office at Turfway. He gave me the raw numbers. He said that at first check, the total handle was higher this year compared to last year. He won't have the final handle until this afternoon. Prob will be released later tonight.

Euro,
There is a filly running tonight who should win by 10 against the colts if she likes that crap they run on.
Her name is Her Majesty. We caught her fast out of the gate(much faster than shown in the DRF) and in her previous workout she went in compnay and easily outworked a nice horse while working on the outside and losing more ground.
Was thinking she would run at Belmont. I didn't even know her name until I saw the pp's for Turfway just now. Shes a Giants Causeway(I didn't know that either until just now) and I actually thought she was a colt(LOL!!)
If she runs anywhere near her works those boys will have to be awful good to beat her.

Yeah she looks great. Lep is on her and she is trained by Biacone. I heard a little buzz about her last night. The trainer I use is Greenhill and his stable is right next to Biacones. I went over to see her and she looks like the goods. However, I just don't trust PolyTrack enough to wager as of yet. The rail was totally dead last night and Her Majesty drew post 1. I was at the track last night and I didnt bet one race. I sat there and just made notes. I will prob go down tonight and sit and takes notes again. As much as I like Poly, I cant find the will to bet it yet.

Oh, she will be 3/5 at best.

Euro,
by any chance do you know anything about greenhill's horse in the 5th race Friday night, Silver Mark. Looks very live at 10-1 and Schaefer has been a pretty damn good rider the last month or so.

She was a little less than that Euro, but she won.
She ran to her works which were quite exceptional.
