wet derby
« on: May 02, 2002, 07:21:49 PM »
looks like rain all day saturday. last time we had a sloppy track, Mccarron stole it with Go For Gin, clearly not the best horse in the race. the things he had going for him were speed, a wet track pedigree (cormorant), and a great speed jockey. anybody have any ideas this year if the track does come up sloppy??? i can\'t seem to come up with anything.

I can\'t see a wet track adversely affecting any horse in the race. I\'m going by my interptertation of TG\'s sire profiles and each horses experience on wet tracks which suggests that their win % goes up while their figures go down. So, it looks like a wash to me.
