Fair,

We have to be careful when tossing around track bias's, many do not believe in them at all, pretty much the same group that states tracks don't change speeds.
TGJB takes a lot of convincing before admitting to one, we have had a few debates.

KY Downs is a short meet and a quirky track with many pointing for it. Not being very familiar with this meet until this year I paid a lot of attention to it.
Mark Casse had a quote the other day "Saratoga is over, now lets go for the money." It kind of shocked me at first.

I didn't play on 9/3, but did see a few comments about speed doing well. Thursday and Saturday 9/8 & 9/10 there were strong wind gusts both days.To my eye and its very difficult with the camera shots you get from there it was behind the stretch runners.

On Saturday 3 of the 10 races came from well off the pace 1st, 5th and DaHoss of the remaining 7 heats 5 of them were won by 8/5 horses or less. I would have expected a CLASS comment from BBB but per usual he just shoots his mouth off without any documentation. FWIW one of the few times I took a peek at brand R's board I saw his same CLASS rant over there. Some new material may be in order BBB!

On Sunday the first or 2nd choices won the first 9 races with the biggest price being 4.70/1 and Kittens Roar rallied from off the pace. The last race was a Rusty Arnold speed ball at a price and Frenchy didn't even fall off.

So in 2 days 15 of the 20 races were won by the 1st or 2nd betting choice with 11 of them being less than 2/1 and only one of those winners paying double digits.

On Thursday 9/8 the 2nd, 4th and 7th came from off there were 2 chalky wire jobs and this was the day that some price horses went coast to coast.

Far too many short priced winners, quite a bit of wind and a rain storm that interrupted the Saturday card.

The only thing I would take out of this purse bonanza after 4 days is the best horses who were pointing for the money got most of it.

Good luck,

Frank D.
