The way I understood it was the artificial surfaces theoretically would have minimum variances. I swear there are days when it seems like Golden Gate is souped up. I didn't think they could effect it much via the daily maintenance procedures, but it seems to me that GG can play awfully fast certain days, particularly at the top of the stretch.
When GG horses ship to SoCal for dirt races, I look at their races at GG just as if they were run on real dirt.
