Firstly, Good Luck to the TGr\'s in Vegas at the NHC!
In reviewing yesterdays OP results I had to notice the high pct of longshot winners. Only one winning pick-4 ticket. Fifty cents got someone $22K!
Early in the meet someone posted the speed favoring nature of the track. Something I did not verify but figured the poster\'s analysis probably had some merit.
Thursdays bomb barrage seemed to coincide with a wave of late running long shots.
That was then this is now. However, if your handicapping approach takes track bias into consideration, check it out?
Have fun you may be a TV star by this time next year!

My notes say:
* Unlikely they could add water due to temperature (+7 F)
* Inside paths seemed to tire speed, especially late
* Outside paths - 3, 4, 5-wide or more -- combined with
late speed, were king.
Some of these trainers that won yesterday, well,
that\'ll be about it for them this year.
NOTE: You can expect a rapidly changing surface today
with the sudden warmup that is forecast; I suspect the
track is frozen under the cushion, and thawing (+40 F
predicted) could lead to unpredictable racing conditions,
and perhaps outright cancellation of the card.
