What a day for cheating scumbags that is...Smiling Tiger was so much the best there...chased Alcindor, put him away decisively, and just missed while running fast the whole way around. What a lucky, perfect trip there.

I would have preferred Tiger, but you can't take away that Sadler swept the 3 stakes with big performances. Though it is sad that they are actually counting Twirling Candy as having beaten Spectacular Bid's track record. I'm happy to have dirt back though.

Heard from Jay Privman on site that they're going to be re-checking all the timings.

Maybe they can go to a 3 1/2-inch cushion to take some of the "speed-favoring concrete highway" away

You don't know what you're talking about. Sorry.

I know today the track was advertised as having a 3-inch cushion, and the track sure seems to be carrying speed from what I've watched. Sorry for daring to have an opinion. Not. There are multiple horses today that have outrun their figures. Maybe it is a timer problem. Or maybe the track is pretty darn firm and fast.

there were some very quick 2nd quarters in the sprint races.
I was skeptical as well.

Not sure where this is coming from. Is it because I said elsewhere that John Sadler is primarily a trainer of sprinters?

You did notice the distances of today's races, right?

Apology accepted.

New dirt track plays fast and safe on opening day
By Steve Andersen
www.drf.com

ARCADIA, Calif. – A day after two longstanding track records were broken on the debut of a newly installed sand-and-clay racetrack at Santa Anita, the horses who set the records emerged without mishap, and horsemen and track executives said they were pleased with the way the track performed.

While many trainers had expected the track to be quick, considering workout times from recent weeks, Sunday’s times on the opening day of the spring-summer meeting were surprisingly fast.

Trainer John Sadler, who was the star of the day with three stakes wins, including Grade 1 wins with Switch and Twirling Candy, said his horses were fine.

“The main thing is horses are pulling up well,” he said.

Reprinting articles in the above manner is a violation of copyright laws....which has been mentioned here about eight million times by Byk.
