If the inside 2 paths are dead why would it matter what age they are?In the spring meet and last years fall meet at Churchill it greatly favored off the pace runners rallying from the 3-4 path and out.Yesterday the jocks who know the track well(Lanerie,Leparoux,Borel) all glued their horses to the rail .Watching how the regulars ride in the afternoon tells a lot about what they learned from working horses in the mornings.
thx hopefully its a good sign for the birds
