Betting isn't the end all and be all of this game or issue. Some folks like to see talent rewarded, even without money on a race.
If you think that 3 wire jobs in 7 days indicates anything less than a ridiculous bias against the fastest horses in a race, then you and i have a strong difference of opinion.
Steven Crist wrote a column in today's DRF about Kee and poly.
Love his quote at the end(inferring that Kee's form won't translate to anywhere else), like the Vegas ads, its highly likely that what happens at Keeneland, stays at Keeneland.

I may not be in the business like you are, but I am considered a good judge of horse flesh. Your entitled to your opinions as am I. I as a handicapper believe that horse players are missing out on a period where a lot of money can be made due to predjudices and bad handicappers aut their participating in the KEE Mutual pools.
Do I love Poly? It's a surface which seems viable. It has it's own idiosyncracies. Kee Turf races has been win by favorites over 40%.They usually card 3 a day.
I completely disagree with you that the best horse is not winning the races simply because of the surface. We shall see when it happens, we already have evidence of horses coming off of the surface and winning at Oak Tree or Ellis & Saratoga from Turfway. Steve Crist's opinion does not mean much to me.
