keeneland is a nice meet. The info is high quality. I guess you could trip it the same you trip any turf meet, and the surface is nice and consistent for that. The big money has been with the surface bias since the changover. You have a surface that favors a different pedigree and running style than dirt does. When they first switched over it was bananas, because the trainers didn't even know what the hell they were doing and every other race seemed like huge trifectas and supers. Now the trainers have somewhat caught on, and that means the value has been cut a little, but you still get horses mis placed and instances where the public is betting against the grain.
