Ok, if I don't explain anything that I think while asking what the problem is, then could you explain?

You're not explaining why it's different when Sutra wins a ridiculous Grade I than when Student Council wins one, except to say that it's apples and oranges, which I don't think it is. So I'm asking.

If you don't like the question and think I'm just badgering you, then I'll shut up.

I'm only asking for the sake of trying to understand because I'm clearly not getting where you're coming from.

Sutra winning a G 1 was pretty ridiculous but those things happen with very lightly raced horses. In the Male dirt G 1 "division" just 10 years ago a horse like Student Council would have been 50-1 or 60-1 instead of 23-1. Horses like him could step into a G2 or G3 race and win but not in a G1. It just did not happen. That's the biggest problem, horses using G 1's as preps, making every race other than the BC a sub-plot. Then you toss in the Polytrack and and there's no longer any conventional wisdom. Peolpe just like their traditions, especially in horse racing. Personally, I don't care for the Polytrack but I don't bet Calif or Keeneland or AP anyway. But there certainly is opportunity for gain for people who can handicap it properly. I just think people are saddened that a race with the tradition and meaning like the Pacific Classic is compromised by the surface change.
