I watched the entire card on tv and thought the track at PIM was playing so fast that it was as though a reverse speed bias essentially worked against front runners - like a dead rail annomoly except only the oppisite , causing the horse's to run too fast . I'm not certain but I don't remember anyone going gate to wire on that day ...
Thanks for posting the Derby + Preakness Day final numbers , one of the first and initial observations for me was - this years trpl crown campaign seems more stressfull on this years group of 3 yo's than has been in recent years . Also I'm thinking that Aflet Alex is more apt to pair an "Off" or an "X" than to run a Top Effort or Pair Tops right now (or ever) - what do you think ?
