For the average handicapper however, it's much more difficult. I have several associates who make money consistently everywhere but on the poly -- they won't go near it anymore.
I do think that most are not putting in the time to make the adjustments for these surfaces. Most of the comments I have heard from people it seems that they just throw up their hands like its a completely unpredictable crapshoot. I haven't found that to be the case for the most part.
I had a great run at Hollywood and many nice days at Turfway. I didn't find I had to work like hell at it either, it just seems like the form holds up in the way in which I am inclined to view races.
