Jerry I agree all this will come out in the wash but why use tracks where at least half of the races are not "sheet plays" but rather breeding, trainer and workout angles. Personally I play Saratoga only very gingerly in the 1st two weeks and find DMR much to trainer and workout oriented for my style. So. Cal in general is populated by races with many horses off long layoffs that the workout guys have an edge over the sheets guys. I think you could throw a dartboard at an equibase track schedule and use the first two ground tracks and you would have a more accurate result then from Sar and/or DMR.
