Anyone have that data

I skipped Dubai, due to the distance.
In terms of how the tracks were playing,you probably have to check the track variants........In terms of the circuits I bet,I can tell you the obvious:
GP was playing quick that day.
OP was playing normal.
SA was playing slow......that track had been playing slow for quite some time(it sure seems like the Mandella will be strong in the KY Oaks off of her scary gallop on SA Derby day).
The other tracks you'll have to check with the regulars on this board who play those circuits year round........I just don't know how they played.
I suppose if you want speed figs this would be the right board for you.
The sheet players might have some useful info for you also.
I get that the FLA DY went fast.......but I don't know that I trust it.
I'm sort of with the surprised majority,I think the Sunland Derby was really legit.
I do think the ARK DY was a true race........kind of think it's going to be sneaky productive.
The SA DY is tricky..........it wasn't pretty to watch,but at the time the SA surface was playing oddball deep.
I just can't get a read on the SA DY one way or another..........gun to my head,I don't think it's as bad as some folks think it is.
