If they could have put in brand new dirt tracks that were good, then I agree with you that that is what they should have done. I'm not sure why they didn't do that. I don't know if they didn't think they could do it or what.


Richi I will tell you why. Money!!!! I find it hard to believe that whoever decided this out there thought this through without bias or prejudice.
Where was the fact finding? Where was it ever considered by them to just install a new cushion and a deeper top layer? Did they even contact anyone about the costs and feasibility of doing this? All I see is a major marketing campaign full of propaganda that the Nazis would have been proud of. All i see is a group of people trying to make money who seize on every breakdown as a means to condemn racing as we know it and spout on about the safety of the animal. Where were these guys before this? How come they weren't appalled before this stuff and speaking about the cruelty then? Its because now they can turn a buck on the propaganda.
Vienna is no idiot, and he wondered about why they needed to switch to polytrack in print. How many guys are still wondering about this who havent spoke out?
