I think for years people would claim there was a inside speed bias when in reality the pace horses are generally the better horses in most races thus fed the perception.

When they are sealing it I always thought they wanted the water to just float on top, so they are intentionally hardening it, which I suppose could do something, but the idea that its a little softer in path 2 versus path 4 by sticking a pencil into the ground and comparing that to a 1000 pound animal running....its far fetched to me.
I'm not being rude, but I have no idea what you are saying here.

You don't agree there can be a good part and bad part...but don't think it's impossible. Yet think it is random. You think speed biases are crap because really just pace horses are better. And even though sealing makes the track harder which you think could make one area better or worse, you think it's far fetched to designate which area is better.

Makes total sense.
