You may be looking at the wrong thing. This may seem counterintuitive, but today so far is NOT about track condition. The track may be playing fairly.
The winner of the 3rd came into the race for a hot barn off a terrific workout and was ridden by Kent D, who normally would have taken McPeek\'s horse in a race like this.
No contest.
Calvin won the 2nd on a blinkers-on horse that had had 3 strong workouts in 12 days...for a top notch trainer, who has gotten some business from a good outfit (Shuvee\'s breeder-owners.)
