Poly speed disaster at keeneland

[The Bid]

Keeneland made all the money, they have the same surface. You know they arent going to say anything bad about the track. I know Turfway told a few guys to keep their mouths shut, if they didnt like it they could leave. Thats just how it goes, eventually the real numbers will come out, and the polywonders will be left with egg on their face.

I'm still waiting to pick up the local paper and see the story about the local man who was taken away in a white jacket after running down the street yelling "no more Polytrack!" I'm just kidding with you.

You do?! Who would have ever thought?

Looking over the charts though, it does seem a fair amount of favorites are winning at the expected normal percentage, no?

With turf thrown in yes.

And my posts are in direct response to the polytrack shills who reside here. They quit shilling, I'll quit posting facts and data. Don't count on it soon.

hmm, I'm looking at it now, lets see what our friend the Sniper has for us.
No way dude, way too much pace in there. Anything more than a lone speed horse who looks to have a 5 length lead is not a candidate for a wire job. Cotton King, Sky Diving, Dance Man, Regwell, and Shark all have speed.

I don't have PPs for tomorrow so have no clue. Just saw it was a small field (8) by polytrack standards.

I'd like to see Aqueduct go to poly and even the training tracks at Belmont and Saratoga. I definitely don't see why Saratoga should ever go to poly and don't see too much reason for Belmont to go to it.

We had about 120 feet of 6-foot heavy wood fencing go down during Wilma last fall. My fence guy finished the job two days ago.

A good deal of my yard has been a mess with all the construction junk. So tomorrow I will put down about 1500 sq feet of sod.

Yesterday and today I spread about 2.5 cubic yards of topsoil down. Just the dirt looks freakin' beautiful.

I refuse to believe that anything is better for horses than dirt.

Maybe I should forget the sod, put up a 6 inch high rail around my new dirt, get some hamsters and run my own meet. I know Scav would throw down some action.

REALLY like Forest Blue in that spot. If I can get close to the 7/2 ML it may be time to unload...

Just going over for tomorrow, I see Pletcher is 10 0 3 1 .00 for the meet, when do you think the last time pletcher has had 10 starters and no winners, he's probably overjoyed...

We have a 2 year old whose feet were getting really sore at Santa Anita last month. He was body sore too. We moved him over to Hollywood and within a week or so he was doing great. He's not sore at all any more. The track at Santa Anita is not forgiving at all.

wow, i'm glad he's lovin the new surface.
