I actually just thought of a positive, if there is one. From what I can gather, it will be the only fake dirt track going in the summer because Hollywood in the West, so trainers/owners that are huge fans of this, will obviously want to race at Arlington, so fields could be better and bigger....

I also loved betting closers in the slop at Arlington. I think the meet will be a success this summer. It will be real interesting to see their meet compared to Churchills.

Closers in the slop have always done well at AP. Come to think of it, closers and stalkers 3-4 wide did pretty good when it was dry as well. Not much adjustment for the bettors, as Arlington was one of the few non-speed biased racetracks.

i think that for a track like arlington that by and large does not have many biases except for the few mentioned here -- the surface shouldn't make much of a change in the racing. I Do agree though that it is going to bring some extra horses up this summer, which is great for everyone!

Arlington's main track has had a dead rail for virtually the entire 2004 and 2005 meets and the first 6 weeks of 2006. Toward the end of the meet, the rail started getting bad again. The dead rail only went away when they were examining the surface trying to figure out what was causing breakdowns.
I think the high clay content had a lot to do with why closers did so well when it was sloppy/muddy.
