There seems to be plenty of value at this track. Horses are coming from all over the place.

Watching the paddock for the 1st race today Court Approval the #6 horse is going like a bucking bronco.

Should go for the lead and fade in the stretch.

Anyway.. the Tapeta surface seems to agree with these horses

the win % is spread pretty evenly amongst the different style runners, which i think is goodness.

well... I should say that there isn't a bias
today it's been all front end
but there were races earlier where they were coming from all over the place. Trainers are shipping in from a wide variety of tracks.

other than that you just like to disagree don't you

My buddy was sharing his theory on PID that the lighter weight horses were faring better at PID as opposed to the bigger ones. I've only watched 2 or 3 races from there, does anyone give his 'theory' any creedence?

i've kinda thought the weights of the horses should be included in the pp. but they are not. how does your buddy know their weights ? brings to mind one of the biggest horses i ever saw in a paddock was Country Only. Man, he was big and wide and he could motor. a huge horse. he stands in WV. all 17 hands of him.

He works there.

Could the field sizes be a factor in the different styles of winners?
