2026

Sunday, January 4

Track Condition: Fast
Weather: Clear
Temperature: 33
Wind: 10 to 20 MPH NW

The track played fairly with a mix of successful running styles.

Saturday, January 3

Track Condition: Fast
Weather: Cloudy
Temperature: 30
Wind: 10 to 20 MPH West

The track played fairly, with a variety of different running styles proving effective, as race dynamics played the biggest role in the outcomes. Much fairer than 1/2.

Friday, January 2

Track Condition: Fast
Weather: Cloudy
Temperature: 29
Wind: 15 to 25 MPH West

The was a strong bias towards speed, and possibly the rail, on today's track. Worth following going forward. 

Thursday, January 1

Track Condition: Fast
Weather: Clear
Temperature: 26
Wind: 15 to 25 MPH NW

It wasn't a gold rail, as we saw horses run well making outside moves, but there is an argument that the rail was good. How much of an advantage is hard to guage. Might be worth following.
