Does the stretch to the line have the horses traveling east or with the wind?

Recently I heard Andy make mention of some sort of index that evaluates track bias and on one particular card Auqueduct had the strongest closer bias ever at 160?? for whatever that means. Do you know anything about this stuff Steve? I'll hang up now and listen to your answer....lol.

Here's a link to the satellite image.

Winds out of the SW are going to be at the back of the horses as they go down the backstretch.
