Delaware Park's dirt main track is listed as “D” for today's card, indicating a fast, dry surface with no reported moisture issues. Under these conditions, expect a fair track with minimal bias, though inside posts (1-4) historically hold a slight edge due to the track's configuration favoring shorter paths into the first turn. Front-runners and early stalkers typically dominate, as Delaware Park's dirt often rewards speed with quick fractions and limited late kick from closers.
