Miff,
It is a matter of adaptation. Speed Figs are Speed Figs regardless of Surface Yes/no?
When I go into a race track or simulcast with a complete open mind I always do better then when I go in with a pre concieved concepts. I have theories, but I adapt.
Sorry if I grouped you into the anti-Beyer group I just see it so often.
I just love it when good handicappers are confused. There is money to be had.Turf horses and dirt horses in the same race are equals, usually that is hard to fathom. TG figs have held up pretty well. Drop the DRF or whatever and just look at Speed figs.....
I hit the first runner opening day at KEE which paid $63.00 the exacta came up a little light. None of the principles changed on how to evaluate and bet the race, you just had to adapt to not looking at speed first which has become the current MO fore most players. At times you hadto look at the reverse and how speed would collapse? Not that hard of a concept. As for breeding, I think it's still the same sires which have shown versatility on multiple surfaces.
The Storm Cat- Mr Prospector line Norhter Dancer lineage, Danzig, Gone West- Ellusive quality have all done well.
Finally I am no genious, I just don't think it's so hard to adjust to poly as everyone is making it out.
