FWIW - Never did Retama Park, in Selma, Tx. a full service track with a high(18%) rake. On #s alone this horse running tonite (1st #5 Sandytiki 2/1) should not even be here. If it were a claimer, I would expect an incurable disease. 2/5 would be a bargain.
Knew that would happen. Chalk does not taste like chicken, placed - blown away by winner

Bad weather has killed off the turf value.
Eibar Coa came to NJ to ride in a minor (G3) 8th #4 Etesaal 6/1 Coa E @ Meadowlands. Doubt it.
