all the races except for one (and another was an about distance) were slow early, very fast late. the early/late distortion on this card is as extreme as it gets. we are looking at sub :12 final 1/8ths and approx :06 final 1/16ths all day long, after :24, :25, and :26 opening quarters (:23.5 for a grade 2 sprint).
how bad was the wind? were all the jocks instructed to hold up their mounts because closers win on poly?
horses were exploding home over that surface, could it have been that slow?
if it was wind, were the 9f races (including the Blue Grass) even SLOWER than we think?
those were quality colts running in the big one .....................
