It's a backlash against polytrack. Trainers were trying to force dirt horses into lucrative spots for five years to get a purse, but they finally figured out that the two surfaces are so different that you can't count on running well on both. A well timed Gulfstream/Oaklawn/Fairgrounds to Churchill move could avoid the rubber track.
