When you have a $77 and $96 dollar winner go back to back on the front through silly fractions, you really have to have your head in the sand to think it's fair.

7 dirt races. 2 wire jobs..1 winner laying second. 2 winners laying 3-4th 2 lengths off the lead. 2 closers..Seems it's reasonable the track was at least somewhat fair.

The first few dirt races the track was definitely unfair and extremely speed biased. As the day went on it may have become slightly more fair but still not were it needed to be.

Bright sunny skies and Martin Garcia and his horse looks like they just won on a muddy track. Overwatering perhaps to correct the speed bias?

For all it's worth, I think they did a great job with the track on Saturday.

I just don't understand why they couldn't do the same thing on Friday. Makes zero sense to me, but I am about as far from a track super as their is.

Only way I passed Geology in college was because we had a party and I invited our TA, who taught the class, and he hooked up with some freshman chick, thus the greatest B ever achieved.
