the handle went up last year also.

the track is always fast and plays fairly. frankly i've never heard anyone say anything negative about the surface. there is no groundswell of support to go back to dirt around here.

So you prefer the cards now comapred to the old dirt races at AP ? The surface plays fairly? Obviosuly you didnt watch last years first few weeks where horrendous horses who showed early speed were winning at an insane clip. It became such a joke that you ahd 20-1 ML horses who had inside speed opening up at 3-1. Nah...thats not a joke....thats a fair playing racetrack. It was a friggin conveyor belt.

AP has become a joke.
