Full sheets for the whole card with the numbers they ran on Belmont Day are up in the ROTW. Very interesting day, from a figure making point of view-- they watered the track at 11:30, and again after 1,2,4,5,6,7. They presumably were worried about the storm that hit Manhattan, so they stopped watering it then, sealed it after the ninth (Brooklyn),kept it that way through the Manhattan (grass), then opened it (harrowed) before the Belmont. No more water from about 4:00 through the end of the card a little before 8:00.

The result-- the track gradually speeded up 3-4 points from the beginning of the card through the seventh as they added water. The Belmont was the only two turn race and therefore a stand-alone anyway, but the only one-turn dirt race after they re-opened the track, which was the 13th, run almost 3 hours after the previous 1 turner and longer than that since the last drop of water, was run over a track about 15 POINTS SLOWER than the previous 2 one-turn races.

Or rather, that's what I did with it. There's a guy who once said, in a book, something about knowing for a fact that tracks never change speed except when there is rain, snow, freeze, or thaw, and a friend of his who said once that sealing and unsealing a track made no difference, you should just average the whole thing and come up with a variant. I would love to see how they handled the day, and not just the last race.

Anyway, take a look. Interesting day.
