It's actually interesting in a "what if" trivia sort of way. But they might as well have run the Benali on the turf , run the bluegrass on the turf!
For the time being it is a hell of a betting opportunity. The fans still bet horses like Chatain down to 1.20-1 and the horses still do a tiny bit of running in the first 6 furlongs. A handicapper can at least make money off of the folly- for now. I sure hope that the public confusion is a long-term thing. I am not so confident. I have watched film on how they run ALL WEATHER TRACK overseas - and None of them do any running at all until the stretch.
Every race is like the bluegrass stakes.
