According to Brad Free in tomorrow\'s DRF, California shippers into Keeneland were 3 for 44. Talk among yourselves.
Keeneland obviously has an East Coast bias.
IMO, Poly seems to be the most extreme of all the synths in terms of changing the way races are run and producing inexplicable results. IMO, Cushion is most like dirt, but only in sprints. In routes, it\'s still like turf. Then again, in sprints, turf is almost like dirt. So maybe Poly and ProRide are more like turf than turf itself. LOL
Maybe the local Kentucky horses are on a superior medication program.
I read an article a number of years back (I think it was on BrisNet) about \"Lukas in Kentucky\", basically stating that, as a rule, Lukas horses moved up a lot in Kentucky due to the medication rules (when Bute was commonly used). Perhaps we will see a 2009 version of this phomenon?
correction--I think the post on \"Lukas in KY\" was on here back around early 2000\'s
