What is the condition of the main track? Sloppy

Where is the temporary rail set on the turf course today? Rail 1 on the hedge

What maintenance was done to the main track following morning training? Note: Training from 6-8 a.m. on Kentucky Derby Day was cancelled primarily due to lightning in the area. Severe overnight thunderstorms from approximately 1:30 a.m. to daybreak produced at least 1 1/4 inches of rainfall, according to Butch Lehr, Vice President, Track. Lehr and his team graded and sealed the track prior to the storm\'s arrival. He plans to harrow and float the track in the morning to continue to weave the moisture to the top.

Good Report....The track will be fast by mid day if it doesnt rain anymore and those reports are a little mixed.

Can\'t see the track being fast at any time today if reports are accurate.

How does the rail usually play on off tracks? Anyone?

You want a track report, call Julien.  He already figured out you don\'t want to stay on the rail too long.  Check out his first two rides.
