You are correct that Saturday was a fair day on the polytrack
Wednesday/Thursday and somewhat Friday were a front end highway at Keeneland on the poly. The front end was great all week on the turf.
I can't comment on Oaklawn because I watched two races there all week.

I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt concerning KEE and took time out to do the charts for 4/07
By race, here are the positions of the top three finishers at the 1st call (for the poly races) -- this is per the charts and not Trakus, btw
1) 3-5-2
2) 2-6-7
3) 8-7-4
4) 5-2-6
6) 10-5-2
8) 1-5-7
9) 3-2-9
Yup, definitely looks like there was a SPEED bias at KEE on Wednesday.
You guys actually bet or keep records? I don't particularly keep many records but this stuff is OBVIOUS.
