Thanks Steve for the GREAT INFO BEFORE THE BC RACES

Not sure if anyone cought this before the BC races but Steve posted great insight into what the track super did to the racing surface before the BC races started.

I was there Friday and Saturday. The track looked a little deep on friday, and everything was coming off the pace. the people and I went with speculated that the track super might "rig up" the surface to change it to hopefully make it fairer than what we saw Friday. Well, the scraping of the track towards the outside was noticed and communicated by Steve. The one thing I can confirm was we parked on the Back stretch and walked into the track via the track itself (similar to what the owners do on Derby Day) and you could see how much tighter the inside part of the track was vs the outside. I/we used that info to help us win a few really nice wagers.

I tried to get a hold of you Steve, but it must have been hectic day for you.

Thanks for the website and the intelligent information you are passing on to the rest of us who are not as fortunate to have the access you have.

I caught it Tony and have been meaning to post the same thoughts.

A couple things I remember in his report were about there being a buzz about Street Sense and best of all, he provided very timely track condition info that entered into and helped my wagering.

As always Steve, job well done!!

I know I'm a friend of Steve's but...... he deserves a LOT of love for his dedication to the game and the insights he offers here. He performs a thankless job with grace.

For some reason, I think - should say know, this is a labor of love for Steve. I hope he doesn't feel it's thankless. I only wish we all could find a job doing something that we love to do.

any time a person is not thanked for the job they do it can feel thankless....which is why threads like these are great.
Thank you Steve for the time spent, the patience exhibited, and everything inbetween.
