Del Mar opens Wed. Racing hurting all over the place

Did anybody do anything crazy like look at the PPs for the card? Or compare it to last year's opening day as a frame of reference?

It's a pretty decent card that's considerably better than last year's.

I don't think he was saying DMR fell apart just in one year. If you were to compare pre-poly to poly days, there's been a pretty noticeable drop off in all around quality.

Not that poly is the only thing wrong there.

So does this portend 40 days of bitching about how the quality of the Saratoga meet has fallen apart? This just in, racing used to be a lot better at the "elite" meets all over the country.

Yeah, I don't really get people whining over it like they do.

I do think, while Saratoga has maybe slipped some, Dmr has really fallen much further than Saratoga ever can or will.

And that is the point in people complaining about Dmr. That place has been almost ruined.
