JB,
The facts are solid, I was present when it was being done most of the days.I agree with your assessment but I think this confirms that even if cushions are supposedly deeper today(than years back) that alone does not mean tracks are slower.Also, there are still a few big race days when venues scrape to produce the wow factor for horses that are already fast.The scrape was almost automatic years back, now much less since the phony track managers like to blame fast surfaces alone for breakdowns.
