This track is absurd, almost to the point of unplayable. It is an absolute merry-go-round out there. Decorated Soldier who probably drowns this field on a fair track gets outposted and forced to run in the 2, 3 path and ends up swimming with no opportunity to make up ground.

It seems like the jocks are on top of it and whoever is inside and get the lead and protect their position has to do so at all costs. I wonder if we will see some riding with everyone trying to get the lead, but even then the only horse who will have a chance is whoever gets the rail behind he speed.

Paco was paying attention but Nevin's horse was many lengths better than than the 2 and Davis did his best to keep the 5 inside to get up for second.

This is killing me Tom, my wife is out of town with my son, the clock strikes midnight for me tonight and I won't get many more days to play. I can only watch this right now, take notes I probably can't get to use the next time they run and put my focus on Del Mar.
