One of the many reasons I missed this bias today was that a speed bias is most promient during short sprints but most effective if rated correctly in routes. Sprints which were only two today of the nine carded races so I missed the insanity of a 20.3 second quarter in the second race....

THAT WAS A 1ST TIME STARTER IN A MAIDEN CLAIMER.I think it was maybe a Mullins horse.I guess Mullins told the jock to just go hard,get incredible separation.Obviously wasn't worried about getting caught,but like I said,people start doing weird stuff on speed biased tracks,and this was one of those weird things .They had their lil experiment to see just how fast they could go without getting caught.If he had a race under his belt,then he might not have stopped.The horse probably wins easily if they just clear on a reasonable pace,but I guess Mullins thought it was highly speed favoring.That's not just the jock letting a horse run off.That was the directions from the trainer.See,it can become a sideshow.They had a speed favoring track,and got it back beautifully 2 days later. For 6 race days they had a very fair track where horses could win with whatever style they had.Weird tracks since the rain.Last Thursday was the weirdest.It favored outside closers.Today's track is kind of typical of what happens when we get a lil warm and dry out here.True Raters might as well stay in the barn.Should be better Thursday.
