Solid contribution Fairmount.
Would add the configuration of this unique course often eliminates/flatters certain runners. A quick glance at kentuckydowns.com will show the extreme arc/length of the second turn.
While most cappers, turf, incorporate ground loss, few grasp the significance of how the turf rail,(configuration) effects outcomes.
This course, with the rail up, second flight animals have little chance.
The prattle laden Baltimore thread about the dead rail Preakness time was endless and of little significance in my opinion. Ky. Downs horses impacted negatively by configuration often can yield mmediate next out dividends in Louisville and Lexington. bbb
