The betting (at least for the Classic part that I still remember) was great. The Public bet it like a dirt race, and I keyed
both Ravens Pass and Henrythenavigator... , but value or not, (IMO at least) the racing was goofy.
We have a great sport with dirt and turf..., I feel like synth is 'artificial turf'. Not a fan. Why are we ever intentionally running a major graded stakes race on synth?
Yes the betting opportunity was great, but given some time the public would adjust.
Dirt is here to stay, but hypothetically, if we had to drop dirt, would rather only schedule stakes on turf, and use synth for heavy rain/cheaper fields.
