The turf course is a joke. It is making a mockery of the entire meet.

What's funnier is that there are still some jocks that don't quite get it. Like Mena, in the 8th, who outbroke the field on the 4, and then took her back to rate. He did her a very nice rail trip.

There's also a speed turf bias at WO. And, when they do some maintenance on the POLY, speed holds real well. This has made for a very predictable meet.

A lot to be said about running on the turf when it's wet. You **** it up but at least it stays fair.

WOW. Were those actually REAL HORSE fractions in the 8th? Did they actually run 46+, 110+ routing on the turf? No kidding.

So these TBREDS are capable of faster than ARABIAN splits

There's a way to beat the bias.
