TGJB--

You may have already touched on this topic, so forgive me if I am bringing up old stuff. It would be new to me and perhaps other new members.

Due to the condition of Aqueduct's turf course last Saturday, the rails were out 18 feet. I found it curious that the horses who broke from the outside posts (e.g TAMS TERMS,BLAZING FURY, SLEW VALLEY, REQUEST FOR PAROLE) all ran off the board while the top 2 finishers enjoyed an inside trip.) Now this could have just as easily happened if the rails were not out, however I would ask if more credit is given to an outside trip under these circumstances. SLEW VALLEY is a good example here since he raced widest the entire way.



Thanks,
Joe B.
