Michael Dickinson stands to make millions. He owns the material. His "Tapeta" is the best surface in the world. Matz, and everyone else love it and it will likely be the surface on all racetracks by the year 2010.

Instead of the Polytrack used at Turfway, Fair Hill is turning to trainer Michael Dickinson, who has been manufacturing his own all-weather track surface for eight years — a concoction called Tapeta, a mix of sand, polyethylene fibers, polypropylene fibers, recycled rubber and wax.
