The track was much quicker earlier in the day... but yeah, she ran well.

Sure was tough to make figs after they sealed and harrowed the track after the initial dirt races resulting in a very different surface, but regardless FS was brilliant again. One of the cooler, consistently fast horses of the last couple years.

Considering they went 2 full seconds faster than Game Face, who was coming off a -4 at Calder, it's within the realm of possibility that they go lower than a -7.

They will have to split out the later races from the Elusive Heat race, though.

The second half of yesterday's card has got to be a figure-maker's nightmare. I'm usually skeptical of split variants, but yesterday's track seemed to change by the hour. I don't know what to do with the times under these circumstances (I believe I read they were hand-timed due to equipment malfunction), but the fractions for the Honorable Miss make absolutely no sense.

Keep in mind Chuck that those negative numbers were at Hawthorne, Appoint would go negative at Hawthorne

Here is what Jerry Brown had to say on his board....

And ran two seconds faster than Game Face. Good thing there was moisture involved, I get to do anything I want with the figure. Otherwise FS would get a neg 7 or better.

Looks like Midnight Lute's all-time record of negative 7 is safe for now.
