Very interesting stuff. Good point on the 5 hour broadcast... yawn for most people.

I'm not a turf sprint guy... a trainer once said to me when you're going that fast, that short on a typically hard surface, no horse has a true surface advantage. It's like running over pavement.

I feel the turf sprint is a race to further welcome sprinting into racing while we get away from the distance specialists. I like forcing such horses to go three more furlongs and two turns. I've said for a long time, the filly/mare sprint idea is long overdue.
