This must be the year of polar racing as this week's "B" track, Lebanon Raceway's weather forecast calls for rain mixing with snow after 11pm. Of course, more than one time I have been blessed with ice and snow before the changeover is scheduled to take place. That being said, let's be optimistic and assume they will be racing.
Talk about most original condition; the racing secretary should be given be given an award for the condition written for the 8th and 10th races. As written in the program the condition is: DRAW INSIDE - NW $450PS IN 5 OR MORE STARTS IN 2010 OR $2,550 LAST 5 STARTS OR NW 6 EX PMLT OR CLAIMING $7,500 W.A.. DRAW OUTSIDE - NW $625PS IN 5 OR MORE STARTS IN 2010 OR NW $3500 LAST 4 STARTS OR NW 8 EXT PMLT HORSES AND GELDINGS In the past performances, each hore's qualifying condition is listed as the class of the race. If there is ever an example of a need to change the way classes are reported in the programs, this race is it.
One thing I like about the racing secretary is his rule about scratching out of post seven or eight. If you scratch out after drawing these posts and you re-enter within seven days, you automatically get assigned post eight.
Unlike many tracks, Lebanon is a virtual closed shop. Horses don't tend to ship into Lebanon so the same horses race week into week. The three leading drivers are Dan Noble, Kayne Kauffman, and Jeff Nisonger.
The betting menu at Lebanon is as follows:
All Races - Win, Place, Show, Exacta, Trifecta, $.10 Superfecta
1st and 2nd - Daily Double
Card Handicapped for an Off Track First Post is 6:30 EST
1st Pace - $1,800; NW800L5 That Are NW $6,000 in 2010 (Ohio Owned or Sired)

Mr Shady is a suspect favorite. Qualified recently in 2:01.4 but shows several scratched judges. Despite fast miles, he just seems not to win. May very well win, but too suspect for me. Your guess.
