Fair Grounds Track Profile Week 17

Inside post draw has been the play over the months of racing. The same is true with early runners.

Winners on average are close to the pace in these races. Be aware of that before backing horses who like to sit too far off.

There hasn’t been much of a shift in the running styles overall. They have played fair as a whole all meet.

Inside posts have been the bias since opening week. Field sizes are small but it is clear how dominant the inside has been.

In the 50 races, the profile here is hard to make much of a call.

The only angle to look at would be horses who don’t come from too far off the pace. Winners on average look the same as they do on the dirt sprinting—in the front half of the pack.

There is no denying how powerful closers have been at this Fair Grounds meet. They have controlled the winner’s circle for months.

Be cautious before backing any early runners as they have been caught race after race this meet.
