Jerry,
As I posted in another thread, race 1 and 2 at the Big A, the wind direction was with the horses down the stretch. The third race there was minimal wind present as the flags were not blowing out in either direction. By the 4th race the wind direction had COMPLETELY shifted to into the wind down the stretch and stayed that way the rest of the card.
Do you and your staff take this into account for each race, or make the figs on wind direction once a day?
When I went to the track at Noon, I looked specifically at the wind direction, knowing your feelings regarding wind and its effect. I even spoke to other horse owners who were with me in the clubhouse boxes, and then we discussed it again when we saw the dramatic 180 degree wind shift before the 4th race.
