These PLUGS are so woeful that it's a wonder they're able to win any of those turf sprints. What with all those dirt sprinters and dirt/turf routers running in those easy pickings races. Oh wait, that doesn't really happen does it? These PLUGS regularly kick the s h i t out of dirt sprinters and dirt/turf cutbacks, when turf sprinting.

And, I play these races @ CRC, TAM, GP, FG, MTH, KEE, CD, SAR, etc., and with the exception of, arguably, the strongest turf bias I've witnessed in over 30 years of playing the races, @ SAR, it doesn't really seem to work out as much as one would think for the speed.

Which probably means these horses have a 'special' ability. Clearly, they have the best 'footwork' in the game.
