This is great news. I hope it is a scratch fest!

There are quite a number of scratches, but you have horses drawing in, too. Doesn't help that much. Also the likely PT fav got scratched in the 11th.

I think two of those three races are now a whole lot less competitive with the move to dirt.

I happen to disagree with you, I think the sequence became much easier with the three surface switches.

Wow... Joseph Catanese is absolutely clueless for scratching Macho Spaces out of the 9th race as an "off the turf" scratch.

What a complete imbecile. Hard to believe he's 3-for-52 at the meet.

Joe trained for a friend of mine when he had horses. He no longer does. Connect the dots....

It is easier with the turf races off, but overall it still is not "easy". The first race alone is a pain in the ass still.

Kind of annoying that they are running these early races on the Turf. Last day of the season HUGE pool they should've just sucked it up.
