Besides, when the rails are up, who knows how far those races are.
Any thoughts?  |
CJ Milkowski of TimeformUS has written many times about this distance over at PaceAdvantage. When run-up and rail settings are factored in, the horses are covering almost 1 1/16m even though the timing of the race starts later than that. As Mitch said, they are a bastard. Tomorrow's 10th and 13th races from Gulf in the $30k guaranteed contest at HorseTourneys are at this distance. May God have mercy on my selections! LMAO
