Looking at the races in order, which I assume is important if we split the variant or split the card on bias (if that is done?)....

Dreaming of Anna and Street Sense ran GIANT, unpredictable tops with rail trips.

Thor's Echo, although breaking from the 1 post, only got a 1/2 rail trip at best, although he moved forward 2 points to a giant number (minus 5). In that same race, Friendly Island got the rail trip and matched his top of minus 1.

Round Pond won the Distaff with rail trip, matching her top of 1.

The rail did not appear to affect the Classic.

I was at Churchill that day, and I observed significant track work going on as the day went on and people were complaining about the perceived bias.

Thoughts?
