Default Keeneland - Is It The Toughest Wagering Meet?

I got to sit around several seasoned veterans of the wagering wars on Horse Racing today, and a conversation came up amoungst several of them about Keeneland with the move to polytrack. Keep in mind these are bettors of the sport in their 50's and 60's I was around today. They all agreed for the most part that the toughest meet to wager on when it comes to class horses (this excludes "lower level" tracks that run cheap claimers, etc) is Keeneland.

Shippers from all over, FG turf and dirt, CD, TP, GP etc..

Meets only last 3 weeks each

Etc etc.

Just brutal

You agree?

No, there is enough info out there now to see who has been successful running horses at these meets.
