You don't agree there can be a good part and bad part...but don't think it's impossible. Yet think it is random. You think speed biases are crap because really just pace horses are better. And even though sealing makes the track harder which you think could make one area better or worse, you think it's far fetched to designate which area is better.
Makes total sense.

I have never physically tested it so its pretty difficult to say its impossible (I hate absolutes without evidence), I have found with my handicapping, which we all know mostly sucks, that its more times than not a normal track day to day, there is no good inside, bad inside.
Yes pace horses are better, they are often inside speed runners.
Sealing it would be about the only time I could envision it because they are making it harder and even then that's complete speculation, but the idea that an unsealed track takes rain and gets softer and "mushy" and you can determine this with a pencil is crazy, that was the original point.
Maybe they could have a new information for the public when it rains, pencil depth test today was 4" on the inside, 3" on the outside, handicap accordingly.
