Good question. I follow Tom Brohamer's examples in Chapter VIII, "The Track Profile" of Modern Pace Handicapping. He built his track models from the results charts without reference to a horse's prior races. Of course, the running style classifications vary with the individual. Feel free to disagree with mine.
My point is that closers seldom win races at Keeneland, regardless of the distance or surface. I've often wondered if its location might have something to do with it. The track is on a hill where the wind often blows and I suspect dries out the track.
It's a beautiful place and the hospitality is wonderful. Hope you have a chance to visit it someday.
