Hooves, do you look at Aquaduct? If so, what do you think of Gem Road tomorrow in the 9th? The horse is on my watch list but I'm not sure if she's a play tomorrow

Thanks for the input... I agree with the 4 - - the 11? Interesting...

What the H*LL Mountaineer - one minute I'm listening to Mark & Nancy chat about the upcoming race then "Attention, the 9th race has been cancelled" and they shut everything down... not even a polite "good night"... Bush League

I guess they had no choice after the #10 broke down in the 8th race.
May that horse RIP. I just hope Maureen Andrews is not badly hurt

They say she walked off to the jock room on her own...

I love this track but I hate the condition of it... can they not afford to pay a good superintendant to maintain the track? They've got to be making good $$$ from the slots.

On another note - why is Villa-Gomez not riding? Does he think the track is too crappy to ride on?

DC,
You would think they would try to hire the best track superintendent they can find. I follow Delaware Park a lot last year they had a problem like this in June 2005 on a Sunday. They canceled halfway in the card. They fired the track maintenance guy on the spot. They hired a new guy, he decided not to
run on Monday and he had jockeys out to tell what parts of the track needed
work. That Monday the worked on the track and never had a problem since
and never had to cancel a day since except for extreme heat and heavy rain.


HVG might have moved his tack to Tampa Bay Downs. The Terror of Tampa
should know this answer.

The track has been having some "maintenance issues"... do you play Mountaineer often? What tracks do you like?

Welcome to DerbyTrail, you'll learn a lot here... I sure have.
