Sunday, November 26
Fast
Cloudy
50
Wind 10 to 20 MPH SE
The bulk of the best running on the Main Track was done off the rail, often well off the rail. However, it's not clear the rail was off or if the riders just stayed away from the inside for the most part. Worth following.

Wind 15 to 25 MPH West
The rail was very good on the Main Track creating some exaggerated results. The rails were at zero on both turf courses for the final day of turf racing in 2023. Saving ground was a possible edge on both courses with the races playing out fairly.
Saturday, November 18
Fast / Firm
Cloudy
53
Wind 15 to 25 MPH NW
While the rail probably wasn't dead on the Main Track, there appeared to be at least an outside flow, and likely you were better off not on the rail. Being the penultimate day of turf racing in 2023, the rails were at zero on both courses, and saving ground for at least some of the race, if not most, was an advantage.
Friday, November 17
Fast / Firm
Cloudy
63
Wind 15 to 25 MPH South
Most of the best running on the Main Track was done a bit off the rail. Not a lot of evidence the rail was bad, but it may have been a bit of an outside flow track, and it's worth at least following going forward. With the rails at zero, inside speed was likely an advantage on the Outer Turf, with the Inner playing fairly ( rails at 18 feet ).
Thursday, November 16
Fast / Firm
Clear
62
Wind 5 to 15 MPH SW
Most of the effective running on the Main Track was done outside, but horses ran well inside, meaning the track was likely fair. There was one race on each course, the rails were at zero for the first time on the Outer, and they appeared to play fairly.
Sunday, November 12
Fast / Firm
Cloudy
50
Wind 5 to 15 MPH North
The Main Track played fairly with horses running effectively towards the inside. The Turf courses appeared to play fairly, though the inside on the Inner may have been a slight advantage.
Saturday, November 11
Fast / Firm
Clear
53
Wind 10 to 20 MPH NW
While most of the effective running was done off the rail on the Main Track, it's not clear the rail was bad. Worth at least following. The rails were down to zero on the Inner Turf and the rail may have been an advantage. The Outer Turf played fairly with the rails at 24 feet.
Friday, November 10
Fast / Firm

Wind 5 to 10 MPH West
The Main Track played fairly. There was one turf race, on the Outer Turf, and it seemed to play fairly.
Thursday, November 9
Fast / Firm
Clear
59
Wind 10 to 20 MPH West
While inside speed dominated the results on the Main Track, and it could have been a bias, one race collapsed and the results were fairly logical. Worth considering going forward but not clear. The rails were at 24 feet on the Outer and 38 feet on the Inner, a new distance that results in the distances being considered "About." With one race on each course, it's difficult to consider there any trends or biases, though inside runners did well on the Inner.

All surfaces, turf and dirt, appeared to play fairly.
Saturday, November 4

58
Wind 5 to 10 MPH West
The Main Track appeared to play fairly. Horses mostly stayed a path or so off the inside but the course seemed more fair than the prior two days. Speed did well overall. The turf courses appeared to play fairly, though speed was dominant on the Inner Turf. May have been situational.
Friday, November 3
Fast / Good
Clear
56
Wind 10 to 20 MPH SW
Similar to 11/2, the best running on the Main Track was done at least a bit off the rail. Hard to know if the rail was dead, but once again maybe more of an outside flow track, and worth following going forward. One race on the Outer Turf ( rail out 12 feet ) and it's possible the inside was an advantage, while the two races on the Inner Turf ( rails at 9 feet ) played fairly.
Thursday, November 2
Fast / Good
Clear
48
Wind 5 to 10 MPH West
There's a fair argument that the rail was not the best place to be on the Main Track, but too many horses ran at least OK towards the inside to be certain it was dead. Probably more of an outside flow Main Track. Worth following going forward. There was one race on each course. Arguably all the best running on the Outer Turf was done inside while the Inner Turf race played fairly.
Sunday, October 29
Fast ( sealed ) 3; Good ( sealed ) 4; Muddy ( sealed ) 5-10 / Good ( Outer ) Yielding ( Inner )
Showery
58
Wind 10 to 20 MPH NE
As the track got wetter, the riders stayed away from the inside for the most part. How bad it was inside is open to interpretation given how little running was done down there. Speed did well but it was possible to make up significant ground. There was one race on each turf course and they appeared to play fairly.
Saturday, October 28
Fast / Firm
Clear
79
Wind 5 to 15 MPH West
The Main Track played fairly and, similar to 10/27, most of the best running was done off the rail. However, the 2nd winner won wire to wire very close to the rail, which makes it hard to say the rail was bad. Could be worth following. The turf courses played fairly.
Friday, October 27
Fast / Firm
Cloudy
72
Wind 5 to 15 MPH West
The Main Track played fairly, though most of the running was done at least a little off the rail. Whether or not the rail was bad is questionable. The turf courses played fairly.
Thursday, October 26
Fast / Firm
Clear
70
Wind 5 to 10 MPH SW
The Main Track likely played fairly. While much of the best running was done outside, the results were logical and there is little evidence the rail was bad in the four dirt races. The rails were out 36 feet on the Outer Turf and 27 on the Inner Turf. Both courses appeared to play fairly.

The Main Track was sloppy and sealed. It played fairly with speed doing well but closers were effective. Horses ran well close to the inside suggesting the rail was fine.
Friday, October 20
Sloppy ( sealed ) / Off
Rainy
64
Wind 15 to 25 MPH South
After more significant rain, we were sloppy and off the turf. While most of the best running was done off the rail, enough horses ran well close to the inside to suggest the rail was likely OK.
Thursday, October 19
Fast / Good

64
Wind 10 to 20 MPH South
The rail was very strong on the Main Track and a significant advantage. There were two races on each turf course. The rails were out 24 feet on the Outer and 18 on the Inner. Both courses appeared to play fairly.
Sunday, October 15
Muddy ( sealed ) / Off
Clear
60
Wind 15 to 25 MPH NNW
While riders frequently stayed at least a little off the rail, there is no evidence the inside was bad, as runners seemed to run OK near the rail. Speed did well, but enough closers were successful to say the track played fairly.
Saturday, October 14
Sloppy ( sealed ) / Yielding ( 2nd )
Rainy
54
Wind 10 to 20 MPH NNE
Despite the sloppy conditions, the track played fairly. Perhaps it was best to be a little off the rail, but horses ran OK at least towards the inside. There was one turf race, on the Inner Turf, and the turf was closer to soft than yielding. The first two finished well out in the course but there's no real way to make any serious conclusions.

Wind 5 to 10 MPH West
The Main Track appeared to play fairly though much of the best running was done off the rail. Might be worth following. The rails were at 9 feet on the Inner Turf, which seemed to favor runners that saved ground, though the 4th winner made a huge run from last. However, that horse spent the majority of the race inside before angling out heading to the stretch. The rails were at 12 feet on the Outer Turf which likely played fairly.

Off the turf after Saturday's deluge. Track dried quickly and played fairly throughout the day.
Saturday, October 7
Sloppy ( sealed ) / Soft
Rain
69
Wind 15 to 25 MPH West
Another Saturday deluge resulted in the races being taken off the turf after the 4th race. There was one race on each course, with the rails at zero for the first time since April, and there is no real way to judge the courses other than to say they were soft ( they were officially labelled Yielding but given the times, that's questionable at best ). As for the Main Track, sloppy and sealed, the rail was good and possibly an advantage, though we saw some rallies in the center of the track. Speed was good but the track at least verged on fair.

Wednesday, October 4

76
Wind 10 to 20 MPH North
While there were races that made it look like the inside and speed were real advantages, there were other races that appeared to be, if not the opposite, extremely fair. This likely means the track was fair. The rail was good but not a clear advantage.
Thursday, September 28
Fast / Off
Cloudy
66
Wind 15 to 25 MPH NE
It's arguable that speed was an advantage, but enough horses closed for lesser shares, and logical horses dominated the results, that the track was closer to fair. Perhaps worth following.

Wind 10 to 25 MPH West
Much like 9/15, the rail seemed good on the Main Track, but in the more competitive races it didn't appear to be a significant advantage. Most likely, the Main Track was at least close to fair. The turf courses appeared to play fairly.
Friday, September 15

73
Wind 10 to 20 MPH North
The rail was good on the Main Track, but in the most competitive races, the 6th and 7th, it was pretty clear the track played fairly. The turf courses played fairly, though saving ground will pretty much always be an advantage on the Inner, more due to the tighter turns than an actual bias ( unless the rails have been taken to zero ).
Thursday, September 14
Fast / Good
Clear
78
Wind 10 to 25 MPH NW
The rail was good on the Main Track. How much of an advantage is debatable, as the results were pretty logical. Forwardly placed horses also dominated. The rails were out 9 feet on the Inner Turf and 36 on the Outer. Both races on the Outer were dominated forward and by horses that saved ground. Not sure it was a bias. Saving ground may have been an advantage on the Inner as well but there isn't a ton of evidence to back it up. Might be worth following.
Sunday, April 30
Sloppy ( sealed ) / Off
Rain
59
Wind 15 to 25 MPH East
The races were dominated by forwardly placed horses. While much of the running was done well off the rail, horses were successful just off the inside in a couple of races suggesting there wasn't an extreme path bias.
