No disrespect, but I'm not really interested in a study from 1995. I'll wait and see how the real life racing plays out. So far, while I find it disasterous as do some enormous players I know, the results seem mixed at best.

Well, believe it or not, synthetic surfaces were not just pulled out of someone's butt (no comments ) in order to make money - there is sound reasoning behind them.

You're not anticipating having much fun at next years Breeders' Cup, I imagine

Edit: and you are right, "real life" will be the ultimate test.

I'm not thrilled the BC is on synthetic but Cushion Track seems to play very fairly.

You realize SA will be the BC where you hit all the P4's, and have the P6 on multiple tickets ....
