From the start of this meet until about say 2 weeks ago, this track was just fine. I remember myself n' Philski saying it was like the old HWD dirt course. I don't know what they did, but it's looking more n' more like the inconsistent Pro-Ride across town. The type of horses who start winning are the very average(but consistent) horses that can handle a track that the majority don't handle. That's what won the Barrera. Just a mediocre horse who could handle a track that the others couldn't handle. Indian Charlie makes weeds. Some flowers, but a lot of very tough weeds.
I don't buy this. It's always something with you: someone is juicing, someone is pulling, etc. This track is fine. They should all play this consistently --- and by this I mean fairly. You want something to really bitch about, as in a VERY DIFFICULT track to beat? Try Woodbine.
