Miff,
I couldn't make it to Lexington this weekend. Got a scare with my father going into the Hospital overnight Friday, so all plans were cancelled. Did follow along however, and if you had been following all week, the track was playing kinder to speed. Those who I know in Lex, are attributing this change to the weather, (sounds like dirt). The heat vs the extreme cold the week before, played a signifant role in this. Yes they do run off the rail there almost the 3 path on the backside. Their meet is really too short and in transitional weather, to really get a gauge on how this surface really plays out. You would need a meet of 8-12 weeks to get a better feel for that.
Anyway, do not - not bet a horse because they ran on Poly. Many off poly improve next start. See CD opening Saturday.
