You need to work on your reading comprehension if you ever expect me to respond to you again.

like i just wrote in a pm, i don't trust the results. on that surface that they had today....i think it's a toss. who would use todays finish to bet these horses next time out? on a fast track? i wouldn't. and i picked musket man who seemed to run credibly. but who knows?
i wouldn't bet the winner back off that effort in two weeks. or the place horse for that matter. hell, mine that bird won by almost seven. how the hell does that flatter POTN? he sucked less then the others?

the winner won by almost seven. seems to me he was the only one to really handle the track. they all finished. but only one finished well.

There is nothing wrong with the synthetic figures!! It's a THIRD surface!! It's similar to the idea of winning a turf race and then trying dirt for the first time. Synthetic figures are their own figures and should not be changed to look faster.

But the nine-furlong race rule lives on!

this thread is so ****ing stupid I feel like kicking you in the face, no way in hell the race turns out like this if we have a fast track. The track was set up for poly horses all day with all the rain. So much in fact I boxed the 5 horses in the ex that came from keenland 4-5-7-8-9

First AW tracks are equivalent to turf, now they are equivalent to mud?

1st - winner shipped in from Oaklawn, never ran on AW
2nd - winner had serious class advantage, won his debut at Belmont
3rd - winner had run second to Summer Bird in an Oaklawn maiden 2 back
4th - winner had just broken his maiden by 8 at the Fair Grounds
5th - turf
6th - winner was 4/4 in mud, a winner 2 back on the Aqueduct inner track
7th - winner had won an An1x at CD last fall, cutting back from a trouncing by Rachel Alexandra in the FG mud
8th - turf
9th - winner broke her maiden at GP, won a stakes at Belmont. Hey, she can run on Poly at Kee, too! And mud!
10th- turf

So tell me again how the track was playing to "poly horses"? Or don't you bother to read PPs anymore?
