When will everyone come to there senses and understand the surface is just one part of the problem. Sub-surface and the base for the surface are the keys. Just think about the artifical surfaced Athletic fields. They were an accident looking for a place to happen until they started develoing a cushion and installing a propper base.
For what it's worth, this is what horseman are saying about the new track at Hollywood. The horses are coming back blowing and you know that they got something out of the work. The Horses are not showing any filling or heat in their joints and tendons. Jeff Mullins liked what he saw so much that he moved his whole barn to Hollywood Park.
When horses train at Santa Anita they can bounce over the top of the surface and it's difficult to get a good workout, that's why some trainers will use the inner training track which is deeper.
