TGJB--
I thought that's why the track will move the rails out. Not sure if that was the case on Saturday, but if you remember from earlier discussions this week they moved the rails out 18 feet for the previous Saturday's turf stake. This is where we got into the discussion as to why the outside horses in the Knickerbocker (1 1/8m) all ran so poorly. So what happens in the Athenia---the outside posts dominate leading me to believe that since the race was 1 1/16th, they left the rails alone causing the inside runners to be stuck on softer ground.
