I think you hit the nail on the head. And at the fall meet, they really put the emphasis on 2YO racing, where many of the horses have only run on synthetic. By the spring meet, many of the horses will be coming back from GP, FG and OP so they'll have enough true dirt races to gauge their form.

Favorites are winning at a 35% clip for the current CD meet at average winning odds of 5.31, which are pretty strong compared to other tracks, and in line I think with historical norms.

by contrast the current hollywood meet is at 28% winning favorites and 6.35 average winning odds.

Didn't get a chance to follow the Fall meet at all.

Going to work at focusing on the Fairgrounds this winter, with a little Tampa Bay Downs thrown in. Might try to tackle Gulfstream..........
