* Race #3: Pace setter finishes 2nd at 9/1 in field of 9.

* Race #4: Pace setter wins by 5 lengths and pays $20.80 to win

* Race #5: Pace setter runs 2nd at 6/1 odds in a field of 9.

* Race #6: Pace setter 4th at 6/1 odds in field of 8

* Race #7: Pace setter wins by 7 lengths and pays $7.80

* Race #8: Pace setter wins by 3.5 lengths and pays $49.60

4 of the 8 races won wire-to-wire in blowout fashion - 3 of them by longshots.

Of the 4 races run at one mile, two went to Post #1, one went to Post #2, and the other went to a horse who cleared the entire field in about 8 jumps despite starting from the 9 hole.

But yeah, The Fat Man will tell you that DIRT has unfair SPEED biases and is a BAD surface .. but synthetic is like God's surface because racing is so FAIR on it.

The real question is, why do you even care what that blowhard thinks, or says?
