Track Records falling at Turfway

think it's the same as Hollywood. they have some flexibility as far as the type of surface you get as far as tightness, etc. they are continually trying to improve it so Hollywood should be state of the art.

Slew Peg set the mile record at TP and she is 2 for 2 on poly. she is nicely bred to Fupeg, who is a sire of questionable soundness. they outcrossed his Native Dancer and did not inbreed the Mr Prospector or Raise A Native with him. They did cross Hail To Reason and Count Fleet which makes for a sounder match. She has a snappy 3x3 Gold Digger. Nice job on the breeding folks.

any biases detectable on the TP surface ?

I cannot detect any biases at all. Maybe the surface is playing to those who like to come from behind. But there hasnt been a bias. Seems like after a rain, then it could play towards speed. If the surface hasnt received any moisture then it seems that horses come from off the pace.

glancing at some of the charts it looks that way. but the speed doesn't fall apart either, they finish game.

That is what I am not understanding. It is like a combination of dirt and turf racing. You have horses the bolt to the lead and then the closers come but the leaders do not falter. It is like it is a 5 horse finish each race. Very fun to watch.
