There were a few exceptions, but in general, the courses were biased on those days.

The 2012 meet did not have a bias in my recollection. If anything, that meet was plagued by unaggressive riding on the turf.

The dirt this year was fair. There were situations in 2012 when it was drying out where it was advantageous to be on the lead. Travers day was the closest to a bias there was all meet at Saratoga when the rail was strong. T

In sum, the allegation that the tracks in NY are the most biased in the history of racing is colossally stupid, and untrue.
Fair enough. I see horses going to the lead time after time on the turf for the last 2 meets and not be caught and call is a bias. You call it unaggressive riding.
