I don't think that there was a speed bias at all.
Azeri won on the front end, but was a far superior animal.
Vindication won near the front end, but was a far superior animal.
Storm Flag Flying got passed in the stretch and came back.
Volponi came from off the pace when some great horses were on the front end.
It seemed pretty fair, but also if you still say there was a speed bias, I would just point out that any track can appear to have a "bias" on any day. All frontrunners could win on the dirt all day at Belmont some day but we wouldn't say it is an unfair track.
By and large, all summer long, Arlington plays extremely fair throughout the whole meet.
