RACE EIGHT TRIP NOTES by The Wizard on Saturday, July 25, 2009

Alvarado scores his 2nd win on the card with a very gritty win by a nose over DUMBLEDORE as the 2-1 favorite. Had to run down a horse who rode the speed inside bias to near victory. Solid effort from HARIOULUS, who was forced to sustain a wide rally from well back against the bias. Strong speed favoring tracks clearly exists.
