I didn't see Thursday's card, 9/8.

I watched 9/3, 9/10, and 9/11 very closely. That is likely the strongest speed/rail bias in the stretch I've seen on a turf course over a large number of races. Absolutely had to be very close to the front once straightened for home to win.

Others thoughts? Little Scotty fans that posted might not agree with the bias. If you do agree, would love to see a similar string as when Molesap created the dead turf rail project from Preakness Day. I'll be following these horses that benefited and those that were disadvantaged when they return at Churchill, Keeneland, and elsewhere in the coming weeks/month(s).

Team Valor's Mascarpone one to watch in the future if you agree.

Average winning margin today was just under 2 3/4 lengths with 6 races between 2 1/4 to 7 1/2 lengths. Yesterday's average winning margin was 2.90+ lengths. So much for close finishes on turf.

Last two days alone, French natives Geroux (8), Leparoux (3), and Prat (2) won 13 of the 20 races. Maker's last two days weren't bad either.....(12-5-2-1 I believe).
