That's a LONG time ago. I'm talking about the last few days...seems like you get wide open races and the 2-1 shot comes marching home like a good thing.
Maybe its just a phase and we will get a 20 dollar winner in Race 7.

The last couple days is "ever"? Come on man.
6 out of 9 winners on Wednesday were over 5 to 1.

All i know is that i looked at yesterday and today's results and all i see is chalk. AND, HUGE fields, so, you know, you would think they could get a price or two over there.

Not really any different than weekday racing all over the place. The races aren't that competitive, and the fields are short, so you can get runs of short prices.

Good racing , that's for sure.
Will also be nice to see the Florida Derby and Louisiana Derby on television.
