Many yrs ago a Ky sharpster known as Col Chin etched his name in the history of tbred chicanery when he had his men go out to Kee in the dead of the night to change the poles, & thereby shorten the distance, for works which were sufficiently impressive to convince some rich Texas oil men to part with their cash. The way the rail is goosed up every yr in advance of the 2 yr old-in-training sale, which takes place Tues, is roughly equivalent. Knowing that & profiting from it are two different things, of course, as was evident when the never been anywhere near the lead in my life horse wired the field in the 1st race. My only suggestions are the obvious ones to avoid any horse who is likely to do any significant running outside the 1-path & to take a stand against favs who are deep closers.
