Sure. This is why all those DIRT players that had gotten so comfortable playing their speed biases over the years are up in arms over the switch to POLY. For evidence, read any number of threads over at that other forum, and this one as well. What's interesting is that they all swear that the reason they can't win is that POLY has all these 'biases'. Now, that's ironic.
I see it as just about the fairest surface out there -- fairer even than turf.
DIRT is old news. The unfairness of the dirt speed bias needs to end. The present meet at BEL, with all those off the turf races, is a perfect example of how useless DIRT is. Compare this to WO or AP presently: when it rains, they just run on the POLY and hardly anybody notices.
