Most Impressive on the Day?

My vote to Street Sense a great pick by Steve.

Against the clock he might have won the Distaff today with another sixteenth. Yes, a golden rail trip but what a nice race he ran. Good for Nafzger.

Street Sense and Ouija Board.

O board gets my vote. Street Sense was very good but the old mare was awesome. I think that she'd beat this group of colts in the Turf if they had tried. On to Japan?

Invasor for me.

2:02 and change. Track didn't slow up that much on the day. Not for me.

Didn't someone on this board say he'd shade Sec's record? Ha ha.

Ouija Board was spectacular and proved she is one of he best race mares in the last bundle of years. What a classy girl as she just destroys that solid field. Film Maker I absolutley love also as she is ultra consistent and fires her best shots in the big races time after time.

I agree. I am extremely disappointed in that time. I don't know how much the track may have slowed down, if at all, but that was a very slow time. I'm guessing they will split the first two races off from the rest or they may keep all the earlier dirt races together and split off the Distaff and Classic. Without splitting the card, when u see that 1:34.77 for the second race and the 2:02.18 for the Classic, it's not good. Very much like last year. I think it's pretty clear the track slowed down after the first two races. But it seemed to me, in my amateur opinion, that the track stayed pretty much the same throughout the rest of the day. The 4f/6f splits of the other route races:

JF-47.46....1:12.34
Juv-46.67......1:11.74
Dist-46.75...1:11.59
Classic-46.60......1:11.11

Also, I'm not too impressed with Invasor's closing of 25.18 It just seemed to me like the race was slow and none of them were really running at the end.
