I disagree.

The Haskell came up ok. Munnings could be the best sprinter in the country and has not had a real chance to stretch out yet. Atomic Rain is a solid horse for the course, and Summer Bird won The Belmont.

Cal racing is also ran on plastic, and I'm thinking eventually that could ruin racing. I would rather bet dirt and turf, then any large field synthetic race.

As for the WV Derby, what can you really expect? When does that race ever come up big? The Derby Winner is no slouch either.
