Any data we can ferret out about any particular tracks' idiosyncracies helps us beat the general public, no matter the track.

Forget about betting for a moment.
Do you find a race like Sun Boat's win in the San Diego any less enjoyable to watch than say Giacomo's win in the race with similar closing tactics the prior year?
IMO, the faster paced, truly run race, is so much more exciting to watch. This years version over polytrack was like watching a field of good horses all try to go as slow as possible early---and try to win the race by staggering the least through the stretch. It's not easy on the eyes.
Will you concede my point? If you disagree, I'd like to know why.
