If it's a bias, okay, I'll just look for horses to come off the pace, but wow, what a change from previous meets. I guess as a bettor, I'm okay with a bias, I'll just have to bet accordingly. But I can see this bias having a negative effect on things such as breeding which has been brought up previous. We'll see.

Yup DaHoss,
I've stayed off this thread as well.
Now I'm waiting for future threads like:
What if Affleet Alex had run on poly. Or Slew, Bid...
This hypothetical bs could go on and on.
Look at the "dream BC" theread and ya get the picture.
If you're unable to talk about "reality"...might as well go for something else.

fav closed for 3rd, the long shot speed finished 2nd and a long shot off the pace wins by 3 L after a drive down the stretch. should be a biggie ex. $320.60...it's not like the speed is completely folding. off the pace horses may just be better as far as the win goes. we'll need to see more.

interesting thing I noticed after looking at the race after it had finished, the 7 was the only horse in the field with a run over turf.

Man, didnt think the 2 was getting caught at all. Looked to be the winner until very late...

Hey Oracle. Troll here. I do not care if you sold the Eiffel Tower to the French a majority of your posts are laced with idiocy. Bid, Slew, Affirmed would be claimers on Poly? Please!
