yeah, I mean thats just another example of how this stuff has no relationship to dirt whatsoever.

I would say it allows racing between turf horses,and conventional "dirt" horses.I have seen about the same amount of turf horses freak on it as I have dirt horses.Steve Knapp has won 3 races out of about 55 starts here.All 3 wins were won by the same coventional dirt horse.You certainly don't have to be a turf horse to enjoy the cushion track.I know it is best (for sure) for SOCAL racing.We needed a shot in the arm,and if it means we get to race turf and dirt horses together,then so be it.We are getting turf horses from around the country now,and it is gunna get easier to cap as time goes on.This is a success out here.I don't regret it one bit,and I think it is better than polytrack.
