Let me add that for much of the meet so far the rails have been out at Gulfstream and it wasn't until the turf got really hard that speed was particularly holding and there were a number of very deep closers that won.
To me turf racing is very fair and for the most part pace is not nearly the factor it is in dirt racing. That is the reason sound handicapping holds up better. For me, extensive trip handicapping is the most important thing someone can do to be successful betting turf races.
