Why is it significant that the races were slower then they should be? That isn't the point the point is if the course was exposed to long term harm or was unsafe for horses and jocks.. The speed of the course is not significant.. When its super fast do we say OMG lets take the races off the turf because its a speed way and the mile and a 1/16th time is 1.36?

Lezcano's only riding on days where Monmouth is dark. He's riding full-time at Mth.

According to a post on Pace Advantage this morning, he is moving his tack to New York, No idea if this is accurate or not.

It was actually in the NY Post.

I was kind of hoping my IT dept would block Pace Advantage as well.
