"Charles cited that a key factor in the decision was the consistency of having almost identical racing surfaces at Hollywood Park and Santa Anita. He stated that it was impossible to ignore how well horsemen have received and praised the Cushion Track at Hollywood Park. "
I thought they went with a 3rd type of synthetic.Obviously,somebody figured out this is the most "dirt-like." Even a horse who likes a fast dirt surface(i.e. Lava Man) was able to win on the cushion.I don't think POLY is anywhere near as good as this stuff.My only concern is January-February(rain.)
