The track was not that slow. At least not earlier. The fillies slowed down tremendously 2 races before at 7F while going out in fast fractions. These boys went out in :50 and change and continued to slow roll. Middle of the road $75Kers went 1:37 and change in R6. That is a massive change within a couple of hours.
Obviously the track had to drastically change. Fierceness has ran really fast. He headed the winner, and simply faded and had nothing left. We have to give the  some solid credit on that end, but damn, 1:46 and change is tough to look past. |
Yeah , the weather was perfect down here yesterday. About 76 degrees, no clouds , no real breeze . I was sitting in the paddock so I didn’t see anything on the track between races . The race was slow so all these participants are going to have to show more . Fierceness really didn’t do himself any favors , that was a regression. Hold your hats today the weather right now looks like all hell is gonna break loose.
