Why is everyone drinking the Koolaid. It is so clear the #1 reason for poly is economics. Whos making the money from the sale of the stuff?Whos making the money from the cut back on maintainance cost. If there is a signifacant improvement in horses safety it is just a byproduct of the goal of the marketing of this product. The sellers of this product and the tracks will be the profiters and the rest of us [ fans, bettors,jockeys,owners,And trainers], will just need to adapt and drink the koolaide . My big question is . If the tracks spent this kind of money couldnt the lay a forgiving and proper base and produce a very safe track with traditional material. Isnt it odd that pro athletic teams and elite golf clubs hire high dollar profesionals to keep and upgrade there grounds and racetrack go to some marketing guru and buy a sack of crap.
