They went consistently wide. You gotta be careful with a soft rail hypothesis, but the track was supposedly deep. Yesterday, when the track also appeared deep and slow, a soft rail theory did not hold up.
The two horses that appeared to overcome a soft rail theory were Thermal Ablasion and Midway Road. I didn't get to see Thermal's race so I don't know if he was on the rail. I thought Midway had a softish first fraction but from there on I felt the fractions very legit on that track. So its hard to say an anti rail bias wore him out. Regardless, I had the sense the rail wasn't the ideal place to be. I think watching it tomorrow will be the key.
