toward the late 90's The Hat commented that turf racing was changing because tracks all over the country were carding much cheaper turf races. The old #1 SP horse or best final fraction horse was not winning with the same frequency. And that is exactly my point. If you immediately assume that Sustained horses or final fraction horses are going to win the turf races then you do yourself a big disservice. Many price horses are Early, Early Presser or Presser in running style and get the lead today and wire the field.
Unlike dirt racing, speed has great pari mutual value on the turf. I have a race from yesterday that I will post as soon as I can remember how to do that.
