It seemed pretty fair, but also if you still say there was a speed bias, I would just point out that any track can appear to have a "bias" on any day. All frontrunners could win on the dirt all day at Belmont some day but we wouldn't say it is an unfair track.
By and large, all summer long, Arlington plays extremely fair throughout the whole meet.

Okay, I couldn't remember...
When I think of great places to see races, I think of Belmont or Churchill, I just don't think of AP... I have heard it's nice, but I think those two should be the only ones where the BC's are held every year, the BC's are the best when had at one of those two venues...
