From Crist Blog:

I'm told there were 41 patrons at the Albany teletheatre who sliced up the (second) $55k ticket. To be in the pool, you had to wager over $2500 through Capitol OTB during September and October, and then show up today at the teletheatre and register.

Midnight Lute ran great and it was a tremendous training job to have him ready after all his issues but counting these times as stakes records is crazy.

Because the track is obviously about 3 seconds faster than a normal track and it is totally different surface.

A "converyor belt" condition on a race track is when there is a speed favoring bias. That was not the case today....

Your analogy makes no sense.

Thanks as I don't have days like these often.

Had a pick 3: 1 (Midnight Luke) x 2 (Conduit/Eagle Mountain) x all, so watched the Classic knowing I won no matter what happened and was happy with Ravins Pass.

No that is a joke too. If you want to believe that the tracks at Santa Anita are normal or have any relation to what has been run over for the last 100 or so years fine. I am not a synthetic track hater either but thinking that any track or stakes records set at Santa Anita this year has much validity is silly.

I don't know what it is but I thought this guy was a brillant rider, after this weekend its apparent that he might of cost alot of Coolmore horses a win. I don't know what the hell this was thinking on his rides today. They would of been better off having one of the Hefferman brothers ride first call. I hammered all of their runners and I am the one who got hammered.

It's a third surface. How can it be compared to past SA records?

good question.

my big question was how do these graded races they've been having retain their status? one requirement of keeping their status is that the conditions be the same from year to year, that obviously is no longer the case on tracks with AWT surfaces.
