To All, Here's an expanded Derby Chart with trip notes.
The following expanded trip notes come courtesy of Logic Dictates.
LD provides very high quality expanded trip notes, track bias info, pace figures, speed figures, and other useful tidbits for N.Y. racing fans.
The cost is extremely reasonable at less than $1.5 per day. I did a lot of this work myself for years and shared information and research with LD. I've found LD's quality to be as good as I've ever seen. I've been a subscriber for about 6-7 years. If you want details, just let me know. Sorry for the plug. It was my idea not his. He's a nice guy too!
