Default Track bias and big days

While I realize its common place to juice the track and fast times make people ohh and ahh, its really become ridiculous. Not sure how others feel but it makes me want to reduce my plays because of unpredictable race flows. I mean 7f races that run in 43.4. 8.5 furlong races that 45.2 and the horse that is 2wide the whole fn trip holds on to win.

From what I watched so far at Santa Anita, the track was fair with reasonable times, and I just don't understand why they have to have it so tight, to a point where you have these jocks riding two turn races like they are 400 yard dashs.
