As far as the turf, this year I saw an unusual amount of front runners hold on at Arlington, which has widely been known as a closer turf course, especially when soft/yielding

that's funny, because i thought the turf was very fair this year, i think that the pace in the races that frontrunners were winning were by and large conducive for speed holding. I found that the fractions of the race were dictating the outcome far more than the course itself.

maybe i just don't see it the same way, because when i went there this summer during rainy days, i found speed to be the way to win of the day.

i've just always had a very very difficult time finding any noticeable or playable track bias at arlington over any long-term period of time.
