Really Scavs, thought more of you until this.....three things:
#1 - It was a joke #2 - My comments dont diminsh anything #3 - The track changed that day so says the people that know more than I (and you) do, but who in the hell knew that coil would drop off the pace and close?? Not me, and I am sure that wasnt their plan. My comment was centered around the track bias on the big days (Derby, Preakness, Belmont, Haskell). I think it is noticable, but in a funny way. Go see how pissed the Halls were after the Haskell, after they decided to run both their horses on their home track only to have some strange bias develop. That was the reason for making the comment, but seriously it was a just a joke.

As for Baffert's works, he gets bullets but some get them the right way and some get them the wrong way. Coil is real real good right now, and I am excited to have a decent group all together on Sat. (track bias and all)

I think the word bias is used very loosely. Was there a bias on Belmont day? What's the evidence for that, Trappe Shot and It's Tricky? It's not like they both haven't come back to run very well. Justin Phillip? He's a mud freak that dominated a bad race.
I don't believe there was any true bias on Preakness day. As far as Derby day, the outside paths certainly seemed better but that's what a million people used as evidence to bet Master of Hounds in his next start and that didn't work out so well. Saratoga has been much kinder (than normal) to speed this meet in my opinion. It has had a lot more to do with the rain and drying out tracks IMO. Last year's Travers Day bias came out of nowhere and I hope it doesn't happen again.
