A surface in which there are 3 wire jobs in 7 days of racing, well I mean, do you really feel the most talented horse is winning?
I understand where you are coming from. I just think it is ridiculous that everyone is blaming the surface everytime they lose a bet or a race goes slow and I think it is funny that the Frizette barely gets mentioned on here because it was on dirt but if it was on poly it would be used by everyone as an example of how terrible the surface is. I think the most talented horse is winning at a higher rate now than on the old dirt track at Keeneland, not that that is saying much. Should they tweak it before the April meet so it is more favorable to closers? Absolutely. Are the horses winning the races really that unusual? I sure don't think so, especially not in the stakes races.
