I totally disagree. The old surface was often biased, although the biases would change. It is a myth that the old track was ALWAYS inside speed. There was quite a few days when wide closers were the trip one wanted. But if you kept notes on the daily biases, there were many betback horses.
Now, randomness seems to trump talent and/or form. Many times, when one looks over a race after a losing bet, they can find several clues why the winner won. I've never seen a track where I couldn't make a case for the winner after the fact as often as at the current Turfway meet. If it works for you, fine. I just will take my wagering dollars elsewhere.
