If you look around this board, or PA or Paceandcap, you'll find a whole bunch of evidence that my opinion is about as strong as anyone's. YET, it's like you're in the know and you compare me to an idiot I could out-handicap in my dreams. Which pretty much captures the ethos of what happens here (and elsewhere).

The problem with betting biased tracks as opposed to fair tracks is you need to do extra work to identify the bias. Sometimes this involves nothing more than looking at the day's charts. Others, it takes quite a bit of work. The point, however, is that someone who, basically, takes 5 minutes, if that much, to handicap a race really doesn't have the time to be investigating biases. Thus, I prefer fair tracks. I'm crushing MTH and I'm dong very well at DEL. So I can play biases with the best of them. It's just that I'd prefer not to. The reason I include these tracks is because they're really the only alternatives and I need about 10 tracks to play over the course of a given week.
