My answer to you is "Yes", considering the polytrack surface change of the SA Derby and Bluegrass Stakes, 2 of the Big 3 preps.
Most of us,even if we are not glued to speed figures, do realize that they dramatically changed handicapping . The synthetic track races, (all of them, not just Derby preps) get lower speed figs and unpredictable results, so far, thus causing uncertainty in the minds of 'cappers.
