They have tried everything to right that surface, and they just cant do it....Know why? Because they didnt do the appropriate testing before they installed it. They didnt know what tearing 4 inches off would do, they didnt know what bad weather would do, they didnt anticipate 100 yards of frozen polyblocks being kicked back, they didnt think it would be clumping, freezing, uneven, and dangerous. They didnt think about much more than running dates when they laid that ****. They thought about full fields, increased handle, and more dates. Do you think for one second the horeses best interest was in mind, PUHLEASE. They are breaking down with a steady frequency, they are having major problems, its about time to be honest with the general public. The horsemen know there are issues, managment knows there is issues, its irresponsible of Keeneland to continue marketing this surface as all weather.

They tested the track on Keenelands training track and had no problems.

You really are spending too much of your time and energy on this crusade. I'm starting to worry about YOUR health. Maybe some yoga and breathing exercises will bring down your blood pressure.
