I think the game is changing. Expect more synth surfaces, and more foreign shippers. Turf courses may be a thing of the past in the near future. What we need to do is find someone in Europe to get half times for us so we can do third fractions on the shippers.
The Timeform conversion numbers did outstandingly yesterday. I killed the Marathon and the one after it, that one on place money only. The two that flew by Curlin in the Classic both had better converted numbers than Curlin did. Can't do pace on the shippers, but didn't really need to.
