THE WIND (Race 2) by The Wizard on Saturday, May 16, 2009

There is a stiff wind (known as a "tail wind") to the back of the horses on the backstretch. This is resulting in quick fractions early. When the front runners turn for home, they now must race into a head wind, which plays favorably to horses who come from off the pace. I will update you if the direction of the wind changes.
