I didn't notice a bias of any type on the grass, on opening week there were two turf sprints on Thursday, both were won off the pace. On Sunday there was a claimer that was won off the pace. Week 2 may have been different.

The turf sprints up there are always funky. I can pick out when something is happening by how horses moving on the turn seem be get caught in a riptide when they hit the stretch. Notice Citifest, for example, who came back to win after having no shot in the biased events of 8/05.

Yeah, my cutbacks aren't getting there the same way that Rail Trip is a MILER and Straight Story is not only going to beat Battle of Hastings with a better trip but he's also, arguably the best 3 year old turfer in the country.
