interesting.

Just read an article where Baffert said he would be fine with Game Winner running the same race as the Rebel (2nd) but expected big things from Roadster

Extremely. Game Winner has already won 3 G1's. Probably goes off at 1/5 or something ridiculous. The Wood Memorial looks like the better race tomorrow.

Owners have to be apprehensive racing their stock over this surface. Another one was lost last weekend bringing the total to 23.

Haven't heard a peep about moving the BC races elsewhere but I have to think it's being considered. It would be a major black eye for the industry if we had accidents on the biggest day of racing.
