The track cushion has been made deeper and deeper over the years ...
Have the horses become more sound as a result?
A lot of times when the track is very fast - it is wrongly viewed to be speed favoring by jocks and horseman - and the races tend to be a little more demandingly run.
I guess let's just run everything on poly track where the distance horses go 50 and change under holds and still fade through the stretch.
I'd hate to see a track like the one Gulfstream had on Sunshine Millions day.
