After watching Keeneland's fall meet, and some Hollywood Park racing---I really hope it's a long, long time before races that play a key role in deciding dirt championships, are run over an artifical surface.
They can't keep the Breeders Cup out of Southern California forever though.

I dont because I'm am so weary of all the 'change' in the sport. I am tired of arguing with track management about issues, tired of rhetoric from horsemans groups, tired of 'supertrainers' supposed greatness, tired of jockeys complaining, tired waterdowned racing cards pretty much every weekday, tired of breeders pointing the fingers at trainers when the fine steeds they bred wont run further than 5 furlongs or make more than 3 starts, tired of the word 'business decision' by people who have billions of dollars of net worth, tired of inept racing commissions full of buffoons who refuse to put an ounce of effort into making the sport better, tired of arguing about medication by both sides of the line, tired of owners ripping off trainers, tired of trainers ripping off owners, tired of stewards who make bad calls then refuse to explain their decision and the tracks and comissions that hire these morons, tired of PETA's attitude towards horseracing......
So polytrack and the breeders cup just doesn't do it for me. I really dont care, I'll run in it if I have a horse good enough, watch it if I dont.
