You don't think jockeys will learn to ride it in time? At the end of the Keeneland meet it seemed like they figured out that 24/48/1:12 were the magic fractions to win from the front and we actually had some wire jobs. The problem was they went through that awful stretch in the middle of the meet where they thought slowing it down to 1:15 or worse would be the best way to win on the front and that didn't work at all on the surface, it just turned it into a turf race.
