The track on Sat was the same as it was on friday. The inside was good but otherwise pretty even. Closers won, speed horses won. It was not overly fast and had plenty of moisture in it. I cant see where the problem lies? Do you honestly think that CD said screw the speed bias, lets make the rail golden? Thors echo was 3 wide around the turn, Dreaming of Anna was the favorite and on the lead, round Pond got a great trip behind a speed duel and is arguably as good as any other filly on her best day, Invasor was at least 3 or 4 wide, Bernadini made his move from the outside, Circular Quay ran a good second despite being hung wide, Asi Sempre, Happy ticket and Balletto were all wide and ran well. As for the jocks comments, What are they supposed to say? I rode bad or the horse sucked or the trainer did a bad job??? Blame the track, it wont answer back or take you off future mounts. Maybe if some of the horses actually trained over the track a bit they would have handled it better?
