Wesley Ward: I=ve probably had 5,000 workouts with all of my horses [over the Keeneland Polytrack], and I haven=t hurt one handful of the horses in all those works. I can=t say that about any other track that I=ve ever trained at... I=m just really bummed out. I just can=t say enough about the racetrack. I=ve been training there for years and it=s just the greatest racing surface to train on. My horses have went from Keeneland and won all over the world--it kept them going and it kept them very, very sound. I do realize that you have to do what you have to do as far as the meet=s concerned to get the best possible horses in the U.S. to race on your track--namely the Blue Grass and the Breeders= Cup... The majority of my stable is 2-year-olds every year, and I=ve been able to get them all to the winner=s circle--not just to the races--and I=d contribute a lot of that success to the surface at Keeneland.

Kenny McPeek: We won races before they switched to Poly and we=ll win races after they switch back to dirt. I=m not overly concerned about it. I think it=s probably a positive thing for Keeneland--maybe people were shying away from Keeneland because of the Polytrack as a prep for either the Breeders= Cup or the Derby or Oaks. I have complete confidence they=re going to do a really good job over there--they always do.

Graham Motion: Disappointment, that=s all... It will significantly affect what horses I bring down there. It=s no secret that I=m a fan of [synthetic surfaces].

Eddie Kenneally: I think it=s a great idea, provided it is done properly and well maintained.

Usually when I stumble upon an interesting statistic I like to come up with some sort of logical, qualitative explanation for the situation to make it less likely that I=m just chasing variance. There=s definitely one here, and it lies in making the distinction between a trainer being patient in getting a horse ready for his first race vs. getting him ready for his entire career. UNDERSTANDING MCGAUGHEY'S RECENT Since McGaughey juvenile newcomers at places like FIRST-OUT SUCCESS by Brian DiDonato Saratoga fail to win first out, bettors assume that all of As I watched 6-1 Run of the River (Tapit) provide Shug=s firsters will be equally unprepared for their first Shug McGaughey with his third 3-year-old debut winner starts.
