Re 2-- the race went 2 full seconds slower than the Kings Bishop (next race), and the second finisher was also around the 3 level going in. The fast fillies did not fire-- DD was predictable, MM not so much but obvious within 100 yards when she didn't make the lead in slow fractions. Jacobson's filly was always a question mark to run her race (Salutos Amigos didn't either).

Heard that they were soaking the track during the card and the variant will probably move around, but the race will still come up slow.
