Mentor Cane could have been a serious horse,shame.Surface been fine on main however the turf courses are slow considering there has been no rain and warm sunny days for over a week.
There were breakdowns at the SPA on the brick like turf courses so it follows that maintenance may be watering the turf courses to the soft side notwithstanding they list the courses as firm.NYRA very attentive to surface conditions and breakdown issue and do more than most venues.
Raw times on the grass have been up to minus -200 in grass races since racing resumed at Belmont last Sat.Grass races extra difficult to get a handle on as a result.
