Dead turf rail question

[Agastache]

I love compiling a list of horses that raced on dead turf rails after Derby weekend and then betting them back. This year, however, it looks like several of the \"dead rail runners\" ran well relative to those that didn\'t. Would you consider this year\'s version of the dead rail less of a hindrance than years past?

It was less extreme than some dead rails.
