Track Designation

[BillW]

In the 5th at AQU, the 11 horse Taghkanic shows a surface condition of "GS" in her second race back on Sept. 8th apparently run at a track in Eu.

Is that a misprint or does someone have a legit translation (good-soft???)?

Bill, it's listed as 9/08/03 FBL 10 T 10.0 fst 3 Al from HDW.

I assume that means fast turf; and it looks like that good race was nine class levels below today's race per HSH.

Fast turf? What's next? Racing in the wrong direction?

:>)

Might be an Equibase hiccup that HDW apparently understands and caught.

I've seen FT and TF .... always thought the TF was a clockwise FT :D

thanks,

Good sod?

This was a European track, not Mexican :D

My vote is Good-Soft .. but regardless .. this NY-bred has clearly benefited from coming to America for racing on dirt (vs. NY-breds).

When I went to an Irish track, they had hyphenated track designations like fast or firm/Good or Good/Soft.
Actually I never saw a firm or fast track there!
