As for Hawthorne yesterday it seemed the track was favoring early speed to the half mile on the dirt course rated fast. Turf course rated yielding.

All I know is it rained properly since last week and this day comes up speed favoring. Not sure what will happen when it rains again for racing today and tomorrow. I will need to pay closer attention.
HAW race 1 winner is a trainer play that presented here with uneven success. I didn't use him for my DD and that is a shame. Exotic seems to really like runners who rack up speed advantages in today's race match ups when I break them out.
This is pretty cool because my ratings don't do that on their own, I have to figure this one on paper to get my selections similar to the Exotic consensus. The hits just seem to keep on coming. Thanks NCG. |
You're a pretty impressive 'capper, Murph. I know you clash with a couple people----so what? So do I. It didn't take you long to figure out EVERYTHING I do leans towards...if not full-out- based on speed. I'm not interested at all in closers...who are hampered throughout the race, and usually have to get lucky to win.
If someone else handicaps a different way---or doesn't believe speed is king---far out. I want to be a part of the pace--not chase it.
I like your posts Murph
