Over the last decade, numerous trainers have asserted that the CD surface over which they trained their horses in the week leading up to the Derby didn't resemble the surface over which they ran on Derby Day. The implication is that the surface is changed manually to produce fast times.
It's possible that the surface was consistent throughout the week last week at CD, but I would not make such a generalization here. You don't know that bringing Zenyatta to Louisville earlier or working here more would have made the difference.
