I know that. I just think that anything < 5F or > 12F really has no place in racing today.

I wonder if the Wesley Ward Woodbine invasion is only for the two weeks or so where all they run are 4.5-5f races. Those are his speed.

They are waiting for the big money at Monmouth

Castanon is there also which I thought was weird. 70k maidens and the canada/us exchange is even. Pretty serious pots up there

The 5F races at WO are about as close as it gets to a bias up there, typically favoring speed (or the chaser). If I were Ward, I'd have a string up there, as well as at MTH. Of course, a 'bias' at WO shouldn't be confused with what happens at MTH or AQU inner (or even GP); you have to earn it up there.
