Title: Wet Weather
Post by: Silver Charm on April 30, 2009, 02:41:08 PM
Forecasts for Oaks and Derby are not getting any better.

Probably gonna move in late tomorrow and be an off an on rain for the next 24-36 hours

The track may not be sloppy but it is definately gonna be wet with Temps in the high 50\'s

Miff let the debate continue.

The Trainers who chose the outside posts have potentially avoided one thing.

A Dead Muddy Rail

Dead muddy rail?  I would think the banking would make the outside more mucky and sticky.

Silver,


....and a stinging kickback if real wet.The inside runners will pick up a pound or so mud.Think that type of surface/kickback will be so new to the \"synth\" runners that they will be more adversely affected than the dirt runners.

Guess we can speculate until the cows come home but I will be watching the earlier races to see if a bias shows up.
