People I know, or who know me. I don't know you. You don't know me.

And Steve's point is quite valid on how the configuration probably more so than the distance (in my opinion) has made it a less biased track towards early speed. The prior configuration was egg shaped and had a very tight and sharp turns. Jockeys were saying that they used to cut the corner (ie 2-3 path on the turn back to the rail itself - horses on the outside paths had quite a bit to overcome) coming down the homestretch in if you had the inside path the old configuration you were pretty much won the race.

Finally a few of you know it all guys should lighten up and consider that there are people out there who just might know at least as much as you, although you just can't accept it. Anyone who is so closed minded never learns anything new.
