Including the morning line is a dicey proposition at a "minor" track, no offense to Delta with the word minor.

The trainer and jockey colony is also not as "stacked" as other tracks. These factors are showing you that Delta is not the place to be using them by your own experience.

Sounds like you have a good approach, but just not for a "bull ring". Remember, Delta is one of the few tracks with good purses and a SMALL racing surface.

the 6 furlong oval may not be as forgiving for horses with leg problems. The 660 foot stretch may also compromise sound horses who just do not get into gear until the stretch.

The track is also only 80 feet wide, so field sizes are maxed out at 10. And to further confuse you, they run 5 furlong races there out of a chute.

Post position, running position, and recent form are much more important than the trainer or morning line at this track. (IMO).
