AQ Sunday

Wasn’t today (cancelled due to fog/slop) just the absolute fitting end to the miserable Fall season of racing at Belmont and Aqueduct? Since they left Saratoga it’s been an endless string of shitty weather, races-off-the-turf, short fields, scratches, etcetera, etcetera.

Anyway, I’m so glad that’s over and it’s on to the Inner Track, my favorite surface to handicap and watch. No silly turf races with indecipherable results, ALL the sprints are six furlongs, and one-mile races are run around two turns the way they’re supposed to be. YIPPEE!!!


Oh wait, I forgot....

I always find inner dirt season at Aqueduct interesting, especially when the newly minted three year olds show a bit of talent.

The inner dirt went away last year.

It’s still inner dirt season, even though there is no more inner dirt.

instead of a 2nd turf course, they should have put in a tapeta course; always can run on that surface

Yes, that's exactly what I meant! Thanks for clarifying my own confused thoughts.
