.....and how many horses had been vanned off during the meet?

The number of days is exactly the same as the 2005 Fall meet I believe. I am not 100% sure. Give me some time to do some research on that one. And it is overall numbers.

I also believe that ZERO horses were vanned off. But again, I am not 100% sure on that one. I will also do some research and get back to you.

Actually wanted to know this stuff early in the year. But I'd be impressed if you answered the vanned off question, as Cliff Guilliams couldn't do it for the meet before.

Well the meet before they had three horses vanned off. Now I dont know what you mean by "vanned off." Do you mean horses that had a fatal breakdown or that broke something etc etc?

just vanned off - not broken down.

Now I'm actually surprised you have that information.

Ok, I will try to get you the number of horses vanned off. But you can get all the information from the 2006 Spring meet from Turfway's web site. The numbers are staggering. Again, my heart sort of belongs at Turfway since that is where I learned racing and that is where I won my first race so I am excited to see the track do well.

Here he is, the world's biggest shill for Poly.
Here I am shill, and take a look at the horse who won the "graded stakes races" on poly this past weekend.
How about a wager on how they fare on Cup day on dirt? You want that bet?
