- Synthetic racing is mostly about how strong you can finish. All the variables that make the game so fascinating don't impact the outcome as strongly. It's a better surface than dirt for bettors because the betting public is going to screw up a lot more .. but it's a terrible surface for fans unless they are litterally just fans of watching big animals run in a circle with small people on their back.
