Saw a lot of talk about Gulfstream turf races this weekend, including some by myself. The times for the races with the no temp rail looked impossibly slow for a firm turf course.
I did some in depth research on races at the two distances that were run (7.5, 8.5f) and found there were no problems at all with the times or the distance of the races. The only conclusion I can draw is the course clearly was not firm. There is no way horses run that slowly on a firm turf course. Equibase should definitely step in here and change it, to yielding, or even soft.
