Reflecting back to last fall when a huge deluge covered the mideast for the week of the BC. Keeneland was super impressive with their drainage and the track played much the same throughout their 17 day meet, regardless of rain. Now compare that with Monmouth.
Majestic Warrior was never good to begin with and how many times have we seen a fast, high priced Baffert 2yo drop off the radar? How many breakdowns were there on the dirt at Saratoga last year? Can you name one other than the Frankel horse that broke her hip in the Ballerina? One breakdown in a 6 week meet is better than any synthetic has ever done.
