the Lexington

Great Play Frank, especially on that WIRE TO WIRE win on Poly.

All the NON POLY type are back scratching their heads trying to figure it out. CtC was heard saying, but I thought they always closed from off the pace. MIff is saying I can\'t bet this crap once again.....

Miff,

I couldn\'t make it to Lexington this weekend. Got a scare with my father going into the Hospital overnight Friday, so all plans were cancelled. Did follow along however, and if you had been following all week, the track was playing kinder to speed. Those who I know in Lex, are attributing this change to the weather, (sounds like dirt). The heat vs the extreme cold the week before, played a signifant role in this. Yes they do run off the rail there almost the 3 path on the backside. Their meet is really too short and in transitional weather, to really get a gauge on how this surface really plays out. You would need a meet of 8-12 weeks to get a better feel for that.

Anyway, do not - not bet a horse because they ran on Poly. Many off poly improve next start.  See CD opening Saturday.

Tony,

Buddy,hope dad is ok, nothing worse than family illness, unfortunately I know.

Why do all the jocks seem to stay off the inside even when they can easily drop over to the fence?  Is the rail always bad there? I have noticed several more wires.I follow but don\'t gamble poly. I like the angle of disregarding bad/off poly attempts when the scene switches to CD.

I have not downgraded any BG runners but I do wonder if Dominican is poly-great or a new horse without his chops.

Interesting you reappear post race.

FYI the Tiznow was intriguing on Figs and Breeding and the track did change remarkably from a week prior and that is the root of the concern. It is far too fickle a surface. It appears they did something to make it more fair after an extended bias against speed. TGraph any insight upon that?

P.S. Hope your Dad is o.k. A good Derby horse is like training a good two year old. It\'ll help his recovery.
