Campo seems to have fallen in love with the 7F turf sprint this meet. For years we could count on 6F sprints. This meet there seem to be less 6F than 7F races on the turf. Problem is that the horses that were staples going 6F can't get 7F, for the most part. And those that have been whining for years about the 6F turf races can't beat the 7F races either. So, I don't get it.
And, the turf focus in general seems to be on routes. This would be fine if not for the fact that so many of these races are slow paced non contended early affairs.
Needless to say, the turf racing has absolutely sucked this meet. And that off-the-turf at the mere threat of rain shit (except for 2 year old races, go figure?) is beyond getting old; it's moronic, at this point.
