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.

Listen as bad as some of the cards have been at Turfway its hard to blame randomness on track surface.
