Actually, one thing to point out before and conspiracy theories run around is that the weather last winter was nothing compared to this winter.

I think what probably happened was that the first winter that Turfway had the Poly it was a very, very easy winter, and that made the stats look really good. Now this winter, things are different, and they are having a really, really bad winter, which is going to make the stats look horrible.

I am not sure where the will be in 5 years, because I think that the normal winters are somewhere in the middle, but those stats will play out over time.

Just my $0.02 worth...
