Tracks getting faster surface getting better

And breeding to good mares

All go together to make horses unbelievably fast

Two yrs olds going on 51 or 50 first time out crazy

times are irrelevant anymore. Handicap by class, or by the trainer...

at the Meds 1:48 miles are so common place that can be paced by any horse nearly in any class.
on Saturday 43 horses paced faster than 1:49.4

looking at Scioto results

10k claimer in 51.4
10k claimer after the rains came - 53.0

At Meadowlands when it rains sometimes the times get faster until it gets sloppy

time only counts in prison

Here's another crazy fact from last night at Meadowlands. 36 horses paced their last 1/4 at 26.0 or under.

Another 36 went between 26.1 and 26.4

LUCPARK · « **Reply #7 on:** July 05, 2020, 09:51:26 PM »

Better breed. Better care. Tracks short with pylons able to cut turns closer and better bikes Drivers too

Race bikes, race bikes, race bikes, driver mindset, and no hubrails. Breed is becoming almost as refined as tbreds.The old traditional crosses do not cut it any longer

breed - agree care - agree pylons - agree bikes - agree track maintenance

What does a driver do today, that they didn't do 20 years ago?

Speed now a days does not mean more quality or better animal!!!!!! Tracks are faster and horses are bread for speeed durability is in question alot and and it takes away alot if good rivalries aswell because they retire so young!!!’nn

noway better care in the 80s grooms rubbed one horse and they slept in front of their stall when they where on the road no you have to rub 4or 5 most horses ship with no grooms and yes its all about the drugs
