Problems with Hollywood park's new track?

Playing synthetic tracks more and more often I have found that I'm getting used to the tracks playing more evenly and when i look at AQU for example it really stands out even more how biased it is. I find the racing less exciting on the pure speed favoring tracks.

The track that we saw today at Aqueduct is actually somewhat of a synthetic surface. I don't know the ingredients of the inner-dirt track at Aqueduct, but I know that it is a weatherized surface that can withstand extreme cold. It's not similar to polytrack, but I think it is still considered somewhat of an artificial surface. Some horses don't like the inner-dirt track at all. Others love it. It's a totally different surface from the other surfaces in New York, including the main track at Aqueduct.

It is a speed favoring track, that was my point.
