Miff-- rather than get caught up in the same old merry-go-round, let's try this. I'm sure you will be at Belmont tomorrow, a day when according to you they will "scrape" the track to speed it up. They post the cushion depth daily, so why don't you check to see what it is, and report back here. Keep in mind that it was 2 1/2 inches back in the 70s.
JB,
I guess they didn't do anything Wood Day either, just to name one.I expect that you of all people would believe that when I used to approach Porcelli about why the track was so dead on occasion, he would swear the cushion was the same as always. The horses were just running two seconds slower than normal because they were all having an off day according to him.
Let me get this straight. You do NOT believe that many tracks scrape on some of their big days??
