If the Poly really is frozen, that's tough to defend. But!!!!!

Remember what spurred Turfway to install the material. It was what? 3 or 4 years ago when they got battared by winter storms for 2 straight weeks, and it madfe the track so un-rideable, that they canclled cards for about that long. They cancelled cards for awhile. So they had to try something new. These guys install the stuff today in the name of "safety", which it might still be. But I think Turfyway put it in in the first place just to have a track that was "rideable" and could stand up to some of the elements. It looks like now it might be backfiring.
