I suppose the rail can be rejuvinated if the track gets hit with a down-pour.

If it's dry...they're probably going to have a purposefully dull rail again.

She is getting good workout reports.

I am, at least, using every single Dale Romans horse tomorrow. Even if he enters a goat I will try to include him.

joe 'money' johnson blew the ride on the 1 imo he got stuffed and was made uncomfortable ..jv left just enough to think he would get a lane then shut it off. i agree that the rail wasnt golden today,but look for it to be live on the big day..also great work drugs you are a true asset to the board and for all who read your work..still like dullihan?

Yeah...I see a pace meltdown with Trinniberg dragging the better horses out of their race.

...at the risk of sounding foolish, is the this done purposely with the rail or is it just the way that track super grooms his track? Is it done because of the possibility of bad weather? Is that even something that the track super has control over? Just wondering...

So dead on Doug... Was a little bit surprising given the way the track had been inching toward improved inside for speed from the opening last Saturday.
