2-Only one takes to it, wins easily while the other is a non-factor. We have no clue who is the best and the result is irrelevant.
3-Neither take to it, Go Between wins over Well Armed, Curlin and Big Brown finish 7th and 8th. We have no clue who is best and the result is irrelevant.
All of this is assuming that Henrythenavigator doesn't just win it no matter how well they like the track.
The point is that there is just as much chance, actually an even better chance, that we'll get a result that's totally irrelevant than one that is relevant. I can't see how that's good.

The way you have framed it actually makes for a compelling argument. I see your point.
Unfortunately, like it or not, poly is here to stay and there is no doubt a bumpy road ahead. This is certainly a pretty lame but necessary bump.
