RACE NINE OBSERVATIONS by The Wizard on Saturday, February 14, 2009

2-1 winner SMART SURPRISE stalked cheap speed on the rail into the turn. Eased outside entering the stretch, then steadily drew clear to win easily over the favorite ROLLING SEA who raced in perfect position throughout. Dead aim on the winner to the 1/8th pole, then could make up no ground. Did not handle the wet track like she does on a dry surface. Rest of field had no impact.
