I find the complaints about GP speed bias yesterday interesting

Beyer must read this board,lotta verbatim stuff from posts here!!

Jim, I\'m right there with ya.  When Beyer came out against your opinion, it\'s confirmation you were right all along

Noticeably absent from his account is the fact that the 2 trailers in the race closed all the way to be 3rd and 4th.  My guess is that TB looked much better (comparatively) than the top 2 did on his figures and supporting the bias narrative helps him think his figures going into the race were more right.

What his Royal Heinous Andrew and few others missed were the Indian file results already determined as they entered the stretch. There were only a handful of positions that changed on the main track all day in the lane.

Yes number powered logical favorite speed horses were winning but virtually nothing changed behind them.

I\'m quite certain Miff and some of his pace cronies realized it before the FOY; heck even I did but should have hit the all button in the late pick 4!!! I used 4 none of which were the 12 or 13.

Lots of luck if you bet them back on Florida Derby day.

Good Luck,

Any player can look back in retrospect and say \"it wasnt a bias because of x\" but when you are betting the races, during the day, and you\'re watching what is happening, you are not going to just randomly bet horses you like regardless of their running style...unless you did?

Is Onlyforyou really 14 lengths better than Penwith and StopChgMaria? She beat them by 14, that\'s a lot of lengths.

Not sure I get your point.  Is your point that u have to adjust your views when u notice a track bias.  Certain,y agree.  Sometimes hard to pick up on without reviewing the charts and therefore I find the bias information more often being helpful retrospectively to bet on or against horses next time out.

As for only for you, I think u picked a bad horse to illustrate your point. She ran very mediocre by the numbers.  It just so happened the other two were horrific on Saturday.  Hence the 14 length gap.
