I do get most of that. The point of my question is sustained cross winds vs head and tail winds. I know all the points on drafting. The concern I had is with it being a cross wind, is their any special effect with this type of wind vs tail or headwind.

Guys
Sitting here at Keeneland and we have an extremely strong constant crosswind blowing from backstretch towards the grandstand. Wind will be in your face on turn 1 of 2 turn races and at your back turning for home. How would such a strong crosswind affect the races ?

And at end of day none of the post position stats mattered as none of those horses were as good as Gun Runner. Looking for angles -I get it- hoping for a score.

Can you bet the contest from North Carolina? 12 states in this country cannot participate and thus, pools are reduced. Sure I can try to find a dead relative in Florida to play, but what if I win? Not worth the hassle.

Can you believe my son graduates from Penn State week from Derby Day!
My home is almost ready to move back into after last years fire on Mothers Day!!
Been a heck of a year trying to regroup so the Metsies resurgence has also added to the anticipation of more better things to come.
Yes TGJB seminar spooked me as my line of thinking was so close to his, was disappointed in that

The article referenced Dollars and it was a South Asia Paper. My Company CEo is headquartered there. I've been there and all currency ost everything is posted in Local currency, otherwise, they would state in other currency in their papers.
I'll take your word for it, but would love to see the reference.

Not to spoil the message, but 1 HK$ is equal to $0.129 US$.
This the 16 million in HK$ would be about $2.0million US. Still a lot of money...but....lets keep it in perspective.
