They had major problems at Turfway on days that they could have raced over the surface at Aqueduct.
It only matters to me how the poly at Turfway compares to the dirt that was at Turfway (not Aqueduct). They got alot more racing days. And bigger fields, more mutual handle.

The poly was balling up and sticking in the horses' hooves plus the kickback got dangerous. Hollywood had problems with the wax melting in the heat although that was cushion track rather than Poly.
Those problems were fixed, weren't they?
