It is the beginning of a glorious new day. They just need to fire that groundskeeper.

Dirt is done.

glorious new day?

are you kidding me?
have you been watching Hollypark since the start of the meet?
its over.
and Del Mar is soon to follow.
never thought I would say this, but Santa Anita is my favorite SoCal track.
they are the only track to show any resistence to this CHRB mandate.

Even though the new track has been open for about 7 weeks now, they just started racing on it this past Wednesday. So they really didn't know what the ideal amount of water was to have the best track for racing. They obviously have several different goals. They want a fair track where you can win from anywhere. They want a safe track for the horses. They want a track that doesn't have too much kickback. So there are a number of things that they are trying to do. The first week was pretty much trial and error. The first couple of days were very good. The track was safe, there wasn't too much kickback and the come-from-behinders seemed like they had a little advantage. I guess they figured that if they put more water on it that they could cut down the kickback even more and it may may the track a little fairer in that it would give the speed horses just as good a chance as the come-from-behinders. Anyway, adding alot of extra water ended up being a mistake because it made the track too hard, it favored the speed horses too much, and it made the track less safe. Hopefully they have it figured out now.

I heard Jack Carava on Sunday telling Tony Saavedra that it was the riders who wanted the extra water on the track. I dont know if its true or not but it sounds very possible.

Where is the story? You are saying something that even if it is true needs a link.

Do you think you can just say something, then in the next post, which is yours, justify it by saying there is a DRF story.

I am sure the DRF loves this.

I am going to guess you have no horses at Hollywood Park. Probably a pretty easy guess on my part. Let me guess, no horses anywhere.

That was no doubt the best quote of the day!

It may have been a very easy guess on your part, but you were very wrong!

I laughed my ass off at that one!!!
Hey the guy shoots from the hip, you gotta give him that.
The fact that 90% of what he spouts here is nonsense is besides the point.
