First of all my concerns and prayers to the NYC metropolitan residents. The perspective I get from national and international TV news is alarming.

Yesterday's US racing was soured a bit when the #8 Wicked Solution, missed the top spot in the 7th @ GP by a nostril. I suppose the optimist in me concludes fewer tracks helps me to be more concentrated and thorough in my analysis.

The same principal U.S. tracks are featured this afternoon and Oaklawn even has a stakes race matching an established NY campaigner Frank's Rockette vs 2nd-time starter Edgeway and another eight contenders going 6F. Wesley Ward and his Turf to Ozarks dirt might be perplexing for some (like me).

For the second shift crew we have a curious group of Australian tracks tonight. Note it is my assertion that the Skye Australian Speed Figures as distributed by Brisnet includes a weight factor. Sha Tin for the third shift.
