Yesterday was an excellent chance for Racing to show me that there is indeed some
karmic force (other than hard work, consistency, entertainment)...
In the 8th race, we had a couple horses who were useable a week ago (Against the Bias!) vs. similar fields, and had solid wide bias compromised performances, and were back yesterday at Long Shot $$ Prices in a relatively wide-open field.
Chalky Trifecta.
Tale of Mist did manage to get 4th to round out a decent ($40-50? dime Su).
I think that's what you hope (over time?
) sort of 'evens out' with the biases.
You're looking for value that the bias may produce/hide for your benefit in future play.
If you're sharp enough to follow the track bias notes and commentary/prattle, and to pick up on it in the first several races, then that's probably even better. You 'project' some paces and trips, and adapt to include a few mediocre horses that will be big prices with a chance at bias-aided trips.
Bias can enhance your experience. There's limits to how much you want to deal with, but it's part of the game in weather, maintenance, post position, track configuration, PACE, etc...
