I know that some define value as public odds better than your own estimation of the horse's true odds. But 5-2 just doesn't do it for me.

Looks like the fig on the Darley runner, Unbridled's Heart, will be very slightly higher than Casino Drive.

I think if you look at the 10th race you could make a case that the track speeded up a little bit.

My thoughts watching were the maiden was more impressive. I only looked at the longer races to get a quick measure, will look at the whole card tomorrow.
