More Polyturf/Polytrack

[JJP]

For handicappers, I think for lightly raced horses, its more difficult figuring how horses off good races on Poly will do on real dirt than the other way around. Like I said on another thread, Churchill so far has been more random than Keeneland.

I just don't know how you can see things that way. Your opinion but, I can cash more win bets in a weekend at CD than at the whole meet at KEE.

I never understood the concept of racing on polytrack. Its only good for horses training on it. Horses spend more time training than they do racing.

I used to think that way....until this current meet started. Now instead of handicapping Polytrack horses running on Polytrack, we're handicappng a bunch of Polytrack horses running on real dirt. Obviously I'd rather have only real dirt but now one never knows if a horse is in good form or if the good Poly race was fraudulent.

Street Sense and Curlin worked on poly before the BC - who else?
