The only good thing Poly has done is increased handle.
Its not holding up to weather, horses are coming back bad, the kickback is horrible, its clumping up and freezing, its uneven, and there have been a multitude of breakdowns.
Does the WD 40 come with the track or do the trainers need to buy that themselves?
At least Woodbine had the balls to admit the surface was having some problems, you guys over at Turfway are still trying to do a song and dance. Just face it, its not an all weather surface, its not what was expected.
Personally I get tired of hearing all the excuses out of Turfway. Its too cold to race, streets are bad, wind is up, etc.. Please just get the facts out to the public instead of pimping this stuff so they can make their own decision. I dont want Marty Collins, TWP, or Keeneland, deciding what my horses run on.
For the record the kickback, and balling in feet isnt even close to that of a conventional dirt track. Polytracks kickback, clumping, and freezing is something nobody has ever dealt with, INCLUDING TURFWAY. So much for all the testing the engineers put into Polytrack. Where did Marty Collins get his degree, MIT?
