i guess it all depends on what kind of bias you want...keeneland went from favoring speed to favoring closers, it's still a bias.
I want the daily biases eliminated as much as possible,and the artificial is a step forward for that.I am fine with a consistent surface bias(favoring speed or raters consistently for days and weeks etc.)The daily inside/outside biases got to go,and if articial is better for that,then I am all for it.After that sht at Churchill,I will never favor dirt to an artificial surface.That was dirt,and that was a pathetic situation.People often have 1 shot to win a Breeders Cup race,and how can you claim that the surface that day gave all a good fair chance? It didn't.So,I am not saying that these artificial surfaces are perfect,but I am saying that you can't do worse than sticking to the same old bias friendly dirt.
