And the first G1 on poly will be Oct 6 at Keeneland, The Lanes End...geesh, they have leveled the overall main track itself and we'll be looking at a whole new track there, not just a new surface.

fyi, i have started a new job. i'm happy about that. but i won't have the time like i used to for horse racing and posting as much. that's kind of a bummer for me but i'm thankful for the job.

All teh wonderful marketing material about this stuff said it was maintenance free and required only harrowing once a day.
Funny that now all of a sudden Turfway had to redo it all and now Woodbines seems to be able to be "tweaked". Funny, the marketing guys said that this was not so, just a uniform surface that required no maintenance.
Remington Park tried some surface awhile back that was like Poly, and it produced wickedly fast times.
