Its supposed to be a mecca of three year old racing and development and your only two turn option as a horseman is to go a mile and an eighth. Its beyond moronic. What worse is the incredible bias against outside posts even in the mile and an eighth races.
It just seems as if noone who designed the new place had any common sense whatsoever, and I'd have to say that perhaps slots were the only thing they had in mind.
The horsemen recognized that last year and the Tampa (1 1/16th) 3yr old allowances and stakes suddenly got a lot tougher.
