Not much different: the e/l's are just about the same at Woodbine was before.......Maybe this can be a real opportunity during the transition.

The real test to see if it is different will come in the cold of October/November

Doc... Never thought you'd come to a conclusion on a 1 day sample.

Just reporting what happened. I, for one, am going to wait to do more than just comment until there are some new standards to go by, but if this early nature continues, I will take advantage of it for as long as it lasts. Might just be a trend until the track settles.

Doc.. Haven't been following any polytrack racing.. Have you seen much difference from Dirt ? usually I don't use Turf lines for Dirt. Are turf lines usable on polytrack. I recall reading they are .

Still a bit early, but only in TWO races have turfers done as well as dirt runners. I am under the impression that they showed recent turf fitness along with historical dirt ability however. So far one cannot use turf lines on this track as it is running ALMOST as early as it was before. I'll wager it will get earlier as the temperatures decrease but not to the extent it has historically.

When you see this pattern, take a special look at the adaptability and formful nature of the horse.
