It's time you pulled your head out of the sand -- er I mean poly -- and recognized the problems. The problems will not go away by covering them up. It's just going to make it worse for other tracks in the future.

I recognize the problems and have voiced my opinion. Keeneland and Turfway knew that Poly was going to be a work in progress and for the last time - NO ONE EVER SAID THAT A SYNTHETIC SURFACE IS MAINTENANCE FREE. It has been widely known that it saves money and it is virtually maintenance free. And the results are better than the results when there was dirt. Again, look at 2002-2004 and then compare to the first two years of Poly. The numbers show that Poly is successful. Show me one number in favor of dirt.
