These merry go round races on dirt are getting old. I don't know what they need todo to these tracks to change it but it's awful. It eliminates any strategy from the races just go to the front and watch the track carry the speed.

Great lesson in statistical variance for horseplayers. Something like 5 favorites in a row, but 26 consecutive favorites lost in the 1980's-2000's and the favorite did well in the 1970's.
Don't believe in "trends" produced by 20 races or something.
