LV odds much different from the UK bookies?

I know eventually the odds all start to match up since the bookmakers bet amongst themselves to balance the books.

This is interesting to me, Two Phils Catapults to the top of the Beyer Leaderboard
Awarded a 101 Beyer, for his win on the AW at Turfway Park. This is a first AW Turfway Park #1
and the splits this year are the best I have seen or remember for Turfway, Anybody know
if they changed something to their Track Surface.

They replaced the old, slow Polytrack with the slightly faster Tapeta in December 2021. So this was the second Jeff Ruby run over the new surface.

Below is what is posted on Leader Board to differentiate Dirt figure vs Poly figure
(A) denotes race on all-weather surface
Evident the notation was left off the edition. On the horse (A), not at the bottom of the list.
As Tex points out the new surface is a prime factor for faster race times, surface provides faster, and numbahs rise.

Having walked on both Poly (at Woodbine and Turfway) and Tapeta (at Woodbine) I can tell you Tapeta is much faster. It's firmer overall and feels a lot closer to natural dirt in terms of the "grip" you get on it, compared to Polytrack which really did feel like you were walking on a thick layer of lint from your clothes dryer mixed with some pillow fill. That's a slight exaggeration but there's a clear difference. Poly is a lot "spongier".
Tapeta also has a tendency to clog up tread on your boots/shoes, like dirt can. Poly never did that.

What is your take?
In general
It seems to me that runners move up from Tap surface to dirt for performance.
Yet to grass not so much.

Here's the Full Beyer Leaderboard 3/25/23 I showed a few at the top earlier to high light

Thanks Smarty. I typically do not bet a future but my friends were in LV and asked so I gave them my 2 cents. We all bet enough to cover a flight to collect during the Belmont LoL!! Fingers crossed.
