The ground info shown for the Sunland Derby is LIVE. Forgot to check the box denoting it as such, hence the italics. That's been been corrected.

We've reviewed the ground for the World Cup and made a change to the variant so the figures for that race are a little different than the initially posted Meydan card.
For the record the path info for Mubtaahij after review is posted as 1w3w. Actually it is 1.5/2.5 for the turns but that gets shown as 1w3w due to space limitations with an emphasize on showing any divergence from the gr

An earlier version of the TG GP analysis may have created confusion alluding to the possible scratch of Gunnevera. The GP analysis has subsequently been updated to remove this unsubstantiated allusion and we apologize for any confusion it may have caused.

He certainly wasn't 4w at any point on the turn. We'll revise the figure and re-post the sheet on Saturday.

Alright, we'll get the turf to dirt stat put in on the sheets for all turf races. Our track guys have refused unanimously to scoop the poop, so that's a no go. As for barometric pressure go to the US Weather Bureau.

I'm confused. So you want the turf to dirt stat for all turf races? Is that right?

Yes, we can include him but we don't have any performance figures for him, nor Mon Saint Legame, the other Japanese-bred horse on the futures list. We'll add Painter's Rags and others (suggestions?) and put up the Special later on this afternoon.

You're right to question this sire profile. Some of the TGIs do appear off. I'm going to have the programmer look into this. He's away for a week but we can contact him via email. Will report back when we get results.

A $16,000 claiming race NW2L, these aren't very talented nor are they very consistent runners. Indeed as a general rule form variability is directly related to the quality of race as defined by type. Glare Ice's last was about 3 to 6 points off the faster runners in here but she showed a top last year which fit with these. She actually ran 3 in a row within a month and then regressed th

No. Mageez earned his turf top, 8-1/4, carrying 119 running 2w4w on the turns July 2nd. That's what he ran. Weight is included in every figure. Past figures DON'T have to be adjusted for today's weights. Just look at today's weight differences and perhaps projected ground loss. Though the latter factor is speculative.
That's what I did in ROTW comment. I looked at th

Mageez, the 1 on the rail, had a turf top of 8-1/4, and was assigned 115 to carry. String King, the 2 next door, was assigned 122 pounds. Because 5 pounds difference in weight carried is equivalent to 1 TG point, a difference of 7 pounds roughly equates to 1-1/2 points (rounding). So were Mageez and String King to cross the finish tied assuming no difference in ground loss, the same paths around

First off, those annoyed with the Friday DMR analysis have reason to be. Let me explain what happened. It's an explanation not an excuse.
Del Mar does not publish its morning line until the day before the races. Other circuits generally publish their morning lines soon after the entry files are drawn often two days ahead of the races and in some cases sooner especially for holidays. Beca

Marginally. Greg gets credit for the cd selection. And by the way he's the regular Gulfstream Park handicapper when the winter meet starts next month. The past two years there he's done very well.
