so is it just the type of poly track that causes this? monmouth favors speed, but monmouth is dirt...
is speed really dying at del mar, or just zayats speed horses? what are the #'s for del mar (if anyone can look in their program, if they list %'s like arlington does?). is cushion biased at all? does it depend on sun, cloudy? rain, dry?

and what about santa anita, they're cushion right?
sires are known for being milers, turfers, etc--are there any known sires of early speedsters? if so, what does it mean for them, and their owners?
