Title: Synthetic to dirt

Remember that old angle? Wonder Gadot and Ami\'s Mesa both figure to figure

Love the pattern on Ami\'s Mesa as well; if she can jump up on first time dirt the projected number makes her live at a price to hit the board. Should have ample time to launch a stretch run. Other than Finley\'s the others have been taking turns beating each other.

I did not see the running of this race until just now.  That nose photo cost me an insane amount of money (a nice sized win bet and the difference in horizontals).  What really struck me was there was a moment on the turn where Bar of Gold looked like she was running on pavement and all of the other horses were in deep sand.  I am wondering if the bad rail wasnt just a bad rail, but was like bad paths 1-5 and path 6 was golden.  Ami\'s Mesa was my best bet of the day and I didn\'t have a penny on Bar of Gold.  Looks like you should have been hurt by the result too.

by the way, I should have elucidated further when I posted this originally.....back in the days when synthetic first started showing up....there was a tendency for horses to explode first time dirt after running on synthetic a lot.  That is what I was referring to when I said remember that old angle.  First dirt.  Anyway, I was right about Ami\'s Mesa, but got nothing to show for it.
