Track Biases....
Why is it so hard for the track sups. to keep an even maintained fair racing surface. For example: Fairplex.. Has no problem with weather. There really is no excuse for the track to be so anti inside speed. Use to be if you were the quickest in the field you had some kind of advantage. Now when you handicap a race you don't want to have a horse you may think will be on the lead on the inside.. Been a tough meet for the speed players for sure...

You want a fair racing surface as long as the rail is golden?

When did i say that? I just wondered why they had to have the inside deep? What is so hard about having the track even..

I thinks thats the whole point. They make it deep so that its fair for the outside horses otherwise inside rail is the only place to be and the #10 post will be 50-1 every time.

I really dont think Fairplex had any significant bias on one part of the track over the other.

Obviously, I love biased tracks.
Still, a deep rail shouldn't be hard to fix -- and any track super who thinks making the inside path or paths a disadvantage is "fair" is a complete idiot and should be fired.

Nothing to do with a track bias, but here's the pretty neat headline before the 1914 Kentucky Derby:
   Old Rosebud went out and dismantled that Kentucky Derby field winning by 8 lengths in track record time of 2:03 4/5 Last years Breeders Cup Classic at Churchill Downs was won in freaking 2:04.27
