how do you define top quality horse racing? top quality horses I assume, but what else?

* Turf racing is NOT an eyesore. Horses are restrained and do run slow early in those races....however, the stretch runs of turf races are very pleasing on the eye. Top class turf horses can acclearate visually, and fly home.
* You deny that route races on poly-track are brutal to watch? Tell me why?
* By "top quality horse racing" I mean graded stakes and occasional allowance races that feature good horses.
