Magic Man’s Friday Preview From the Fair Grounds

An early morning rush of rain led the Fair Grounds into its first inclement track day of the meet as it was labeled sloppy for the early part of the card. Hence the tough day for me as only two winners was on the docket and five board finishes as well. Looking to rebound off of my first rough day of the season, here now is my look at how I see the Friday card playing out.
