As I sit here in the car watching the track here turn from tight to pretty heavy because of rain the conditions at 6:30 are going to be completely different than 8:30

The difference in riders is another that I should have put as well. There is a big difference between a 140 lb ex rider and a jockey.
Yeah .... it's obviously extremely tough to trust stuff. That is for sure.

Workout time is something I never pay attention to at all... but I'm strangly enjoying trying to figure out who's might have been most impressive. I remember swearing Candy Ride's were bogus before the Pac Classic because of how slow the track was that meet.
