There are just a lot more sound horses right now because of the cushion-track. The effect is huge.
I might not for or against a cushion track but I just wish all tracks adopt a common surface soon because it is hurting us handicappers as far as the cushion to real track angle. For example, Foxysox is entered in the La Brea tommorow on dirt. True, she ran huge on the cushion track in the Bayakoa at hollywood but that was after she ran a long string of turf races. I am just confused in how this horse will handle real dirt. probably a bet against if she is bet low.
