Scott Coulter is rotten. Beyond Phil Hudon rotten right now. Great on a half mile track, but lost and in the way on the big track. Two fourth place picks after two races, Not a good start.

Gotta love that "brush-to-get-parked" move.   idunno

Speed seems to be holding very well again due to the warm weather and light winds.

Yeah it's mostly speed so far, and everything I liked is getting away sixth by 13 lengths!!! I see at Maywood that a Duncan Price horse is going off at 6-1. That's crazy.

I don't get this track sometimes... Did you see how spread out they were for the most of the mile? One leader off by 3 on the guy sitting second. The guy in second sitting 4 lengths ahead of the guy in third. The leader was almost at the half by the the trailer hit the quarter. Incredibly frustrating when you see inconsistent form from horses and drivers.

Totally agree.  Woodbine is traditionally a speed biased track...and with the inability of drivers to rate horses and bring them up in the outer flow, there is very little forward movement until they turn for home, when it's often too late.

Sometimes it plays like a half-miler.  You have to give thought as to who is going to leave, what order they will fall into at the first turn, and how fast did the first quarter go.

Reading Woodbine past performances is so much different than reading the Meadowlands.  Often I go back and look at "drivers intent" in a horse's previous race to determine whether the driver thought he had a "live one" or not.   shootme
