But the horses I have co-owned are much more sound when training and racing on PolyTrack. I just had a horse race at Mountaineer and she finished 2nd last weekend. She has since worked over the track at Mountaineer and she came back sore. So we are shipping her back to Turfway to work.
Thank you, Euro. As a horse owner, you would know. I don't own a racehorse, so I will take your word for it.
