Colonel John has run on Poly exactly once and he lost. He has run on the All-Weather surface at Santa Anita and Hollywood (whose trademarked name escapes me) and won 3 of 6, or 50%; his percentage on traditional dirt is 1 for 2, or 50%.
I know many of you use Poly as a catchall to describe any AW surface, but they are not the same stuff and shouldn't be treated as such in discussion or in handicapping. Not even all the Poly tracks play the same way (AP vs Kee).
