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. |
And this affects me in what way? Last time I read he was one of those being considered in California but they chose a rival company to his and Polytrack's as well. I did read that Fair Hill installed his surface but I have not read about his company being chosen anywhere to install his surface.
Either way, who gives a ****?
My concerns are about the health of the breeding industry.
