I hear about speed bias all the time, and i think that more often than not there is a perception of a speed bias. I think saving ground is absolutely necessary at certain tracks ie: AQ inner GP main or even Keenland. So on those tracks being on the lead and saving ground is a huge positive; however very good horses overcome anything, and they can win from anywhere. On Aqueduct's inner they usually run immature and weak maiden races early in the day and i think in those races you see alot of speed-pop type winners, and i hear it all the time at the various betting locations "Speed is golden today", So most bettors get this perception of a speed bias, and when the better races (Allowance etc..)come up the dynamic changes, and the races seem to be run with a more level chance to all.
