Damn, I would have went to Pimlico if I knew that BT was the Kegasus.

The first four legs of this Pick 5 are absolutely brutal.

Not only can I not find anything even close to a single in any of them ... I'm also having a lot of trouble eliminating horses.

It's very annoying to me. Like one potential landmine after another.

Sometimes a card can be "too good" when the main attraction is a multi-win bet like the pick 5.

It's a very slow track based on what we saw in the first dirt race today.

Solid starter alw males -- the 4 length winner had run figures of 77-88-82-76-80-78 in his last six starts.

They went 25 for the first quarter and the 8.5f race broke 1:46 for the final time.

Unless some work is done on the track -- the fractions and especially the final time will be very slow this year no matter what.

Based on that race -- a 1:50 flat for 9 furlongs on this track would be about a 108 Beyer type race.

Curtis Paynter --- regarded by many in the Baffert camp to be as good as Bodemeister only a few weeks ago --- draws off to a big win in 1:42.98 for 8.5 furlongs.

This is going to be a fun day today -- two races and probably one variant split already. The track remains to look fair ... and the overall speed of it appears a lot closer to par than it did an hour ago. Would like to know how much work was done to it between the second and fourth.
