I really don't think that the poly track is to blame for the figure as there have been some good figures run on it, by these horses.

I say its more to do with the riders and how they decided to allow the pace to unfold. I think its a riders reaction to how the poly is playing and not wanting to compromise their horses chances.

I agree. There was no pace at all

Agreed, the opening quarter was 26 and 1 I think...just really crawling alone.
I was actually surprised the horse on the lead didnt go gate to wire with those fractions.

and what, 51 and 2 for the half....teuf a definite bet against if he faces a good field again, if he was any kind of horse he'd have held on with that 'pace'.
still amazed that dominican was able to pass street sense, all things considered. yeah, a head bob....

that really was an exciting finish--almost a turf race at the end, with four across at the line.
