That is normal, if they close there, they played with the track

They did something to the track, rail is REAL good today, Master Commander was a fading 3rd and came back to almost win, and the 1's just beat Coach Jimi Lee and High Expectations. 1's were garbage.

I'm with Recapturetheglory here, has great dirt history, and some here claim knowledge that Denis of Cork's connections have other races on their minds

$15 straight trifecta

D of C with Z Humor with Atoned

D of C had an easy run in the Southwest. Lone speed types out front were real easy to reel in now he'll get the acid test today.

[IrishofNDMan]

Cork looked like crap out there, even if the connections had another race in mind you know they wanted to see something better than that.

Didnt see the #1 at all in this race. "The big 3" of the race didnt run at all. I guess you could make a little excuse for DofC. But he did have time to get back into the race.

I was on the #6 and to get beat by a 15 to1 shot just frosts my a s s.
