Old Habits not only die hard, they die broke...

Being an astute observer of all things weird, it was difficult to

come to grips with what in hell is going on at Aqueduct this winter.

As a child I learned two hard and fast rules about The Big A inner

dirt track...

#1: Speed on the rail

#2: Speed on the rail

After losing way too many races playing the front running speed it

finally dawned on me it just wasn't working anymore. 

As Marvin Gaye asked, What's goin' on..? 

Well dang, if you go into The Racing Form's on line Formulator

there's this little  tool called Racing Flow Update.

They have a system called BL12, or how far back was the winner

at the first two points of call.

Shocked...I say, shocked, cause one things for sure, that old

early speed rail bias ain't what it used to be. A lot more closers from

off the pace. It's playing like a much different track. 

This may be boring to some people but, hey,

it's something to ponder while I wait on my trust fund check.

By the way, I just read that raccoons mate in January...clink.

See ya at Post Time,
