I don't think this was obvious at all. Seven out of eight dirt races were won by favorites who happened to be frontrunners. All this indicates is that the crowd correctly handicapped the races and appears that the races were obvious mismatches. Not a good day to bet dirt races. To determine a true track bias, one must also look at the prices. All favorites winning indicates that there was a standout in each race. After all, favorites win approximately 1/3 of the time and today the favorite or second favorite won seven of eight races. Speed bias--no.
