Okay.

First of all, there was only one other grass race on the card, and that one had an insanely slow pace (1:19 6f in a stake), so it was obviously an "s. pace" race that had to be done separately.

So this race was a stand alone. When this happens at Saratoga with maiden 2yos that haven't run on grass it can be a major pain in the butt, and I have to leave a box. But these were very solid, consistent older grass horses, which run figures in a tight range, and it was pretty easy. Look at the race, and see what happens if you add or subtract (you would have to do it with all horses).

As for the rail, it was a gray area, mostly because the sample size is so small. One of the other horses in the other race ran his top on the inside and others ran okay, so I didn't mark it, but it might have hurt a little. Not as clear as at Pimlico Saturday.
