Full sheets with the numbers they ran on BC day are available in the RBR. A few points:

1-- It was obvious going in that trips would be important, and boy, were they. Some were predictable, some were not, which is little solace to those of us who bet Bwana Charlie from the rail.

2-- Some of the first lasix horses jumped up, which was predictable, but overall the European figures held up extremely well.

3-- We gave out our first dead rail on turf ever. It wasn't simple-- I only gave it to those who spent a significant amount of time there (basically on 2 turns, whether in a 2 or 3 turn race), but as you will see it's pretty clear. Interestingly enough, I have been told the jockeys said the inside path was bad as well.

4-- The day was very easy to do-- look at each race and see what happens if you add or subtract from it (keep in mind you have to adjust everyone in the race by the same amount). You would think that on a day when so many horses ran to their figures we would have done better...
