Doesn't sound like it.

Screw that place!

so does this mean that curlin is no longer one of the best ever? does it drop him to best in the last 25 years, or he's not even that now?

i bet jess jackson is kicking himself, and i bet he wishes the chrb had never made that mandate.
but wishes don't mean squat.

don't adapt.. whatever you do.. keep blaming surfaces so the rest of us can make money..

funny thing is if they didn't tell you it wasn't dirt.. you would, most likely, never know the difference.

I think they should install that stuff that is on the inner dirt track at Aqueduct everywhere, because that is by far the fairest racing surface I have ever seen.

Unless there is another Aqueduct Race Track, that is located somewhere other than Jamaica, NY, then no I don't agree.

There are many days at Aqueduct I could don a horse costume and ride that rail to the winners circle.

You're kidding....right?

It's turf. It has nothing to do with whether or not you make money betting on it. It is NOT a dirt surface and zero DIRT championships were actually decided this weekend at Santa Anita.

The discussion has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not one can make money betting on it.

He called Santa Anita a s h i t h o l e and since his broke a s s cant afford a plane ticket to ever see the facility he should keep his focus on the surface and not Santa Anita in general as stated.

Everybody knew what they were going to race on and that made it an even playing field. I didn't see a single poly track specialist stealing a race this yesterday.
