Agreed, but in exchange you get the value.
As far as the inconsistent pace factor, I believe this product does a terrific job of producing numbers that the user can be confident in. With the tighter turns on the grass, wide trips come into play here more than on dirt. Looking at Beyer numbers for the grass are a waste of time. The other thing I look at is who consistently runs the best numbers at the distance of that day's race. While the different distances on the dirt certainly have their respective specialists, I believe this is even more prevalent on the turf.
PS: I'm going to e-mail AccuWeather to find out if ERNESTO washes out the Spa weekend card. Just NYRA's luck to move the Woodward to Saratoga only to see it run in a sea of slop.
Good Luck,
