I don't think you are getting what I hold to be true.
Its not the bias or lack of one that I dislike, far from it. I love closing biases on dirt tracks, its easier to score with one of those.
But I truly don't think the majority of horses run their best on it. In a race like the one with Jump and Miss, I think the time will show you that noone particularly loved it. If it was a surface where some just loved it, that would be fine as well. But i don't see that. I see figs crashing by as many as 5 horses in the same race, which eliminates the notion that one or two just didnt fire for other reasons than the surface.
Hard to convince me that day in and day out when 3-6 horses in a race don't run a fig commensurate with their ability, that horses just aren't firing on it.
I think many of these races go to the horse who dislikes it the least. That I have a problem with. Lack of a bias I don't have a problem with.
