Don't get me wrong, I play TAM more than AQU but I'm very selective.

All those middle moves are beyond ridiculous.

The bettors are clueless make horrible favorites that even a bird brain capper like me know ridiculous to bet.

I really don't look to much at jockeys if Ramon D is top notch then they all sux the same.

The 1st part is definitely true.

I actually prefer FG to TAM these days. The horses seem to run a bit more evenly/predictably in the stretch -- on the dirt.

As for turf, outside of the sprints, both are ridiculously difficult (FG because of the poor quality of the turf and TAM because of the poor rides and the IDIOTIC OUTWARD cut of the grass just before they hit the wire) .
