AJ,

You are a stats, data, internal splits etc, guy. Like myself you don’t just post for the sake of being heard?

There are 3 comments over 34 years in this thread about Oaklawn having a “slightly down hill Stretch”. So why aren’t an overwhelming majority of races at track that basically runs 3 distances all on the same dirt course abnormally faster at the end day in and day out over the past 30 some years?

I’ll stand by my previous comment of it raining almost every day in February at this just concluded meet. If the track is sloped downhill? It’s as much pure physics as ground loss, weight and wind as to where the water is going to go?
Unless they are dragging harrows at an angle for track maintenance, I ain’t seen no crooked tractor pulls?
