I just saw this (and have no idea whether the horse won or not, as I have no interest in that race). However, I disagree with Serling on this. I think the cutback is as potent on turf and poly as it is on dirt. It's just a matter of picking out those horses that fit the right profile to cut back. Unfortunately, this is yet another topic that just won't get the discussion time it deserves.
