I didn't miss your point at all, I just felt it wasn't justified.
My sarcasm is usually unapprecated but Seattle and I have spoken on messenger enough over 3 years that he gets me. I'm an acquired taste.
I see people arguing the most vehemently over races and the like that i know they haven't watched or seen by the very eneral context with which they speak about them.
I'm willing to bet that staunchest of polytrack advocates on here haven't seen more than a few races, if that, on the stuff and they are telling us all about it.
Its frustrating.

didn't at all address my point, but oh well.

personally i've always liked to play Turfway park, well before the switch to poly. So last year i payed a lot of attention to it and watched many many cards. I was amazed at how different it was but also amazed that if you work at it and pay attention it really isn't so mysterious to handicap. Of course you have to approach it differently than dirt, no question.

Keeneland for me has always been an anamoly and i never have had any confidence handicapping it. So even now with the switch i haven't paid much attention because i don't intend to play it. From the little i have watched it looks like the action is real similar to TP though.
