Unless some little girl clicks her heels soon this cyclone is about to wipe out a big piece of racing. Believe me its very sad. I think its a travesty and hope things change although this rush to polytrack really worked against the sport..
For the record I was in favor of poly because I was convinced it was in the best (health) interest of horses. I thought healthier horses bigger fields more betting etc... I was SO wrong!

I had an open mind to the change, the constant string of early speed wins was also getting to me, that being said it was a ill conceived decision.
Its still alot of money, what a million bucks some turf horse could ship in for in the pacific classic, is a million bucks enough to ship a good turf horse to beat dirt horses running on the wrong surface? If I owned one it would be.
