I am a big fan of polytrack. I think it has been a big success everywhere except for Woodbine. I don't know how anyone can claim that there aren't serious problems at Woodbine. Even the senior vice-president of racing at Woodbine said, "We know we have a serious problem." If the senior vice-presdient of racing admits that they "have a serious problem", you can't argue that everything is fine there. They have had a lot of breakdowns on the polytrack at Woodbine too. The first half of the year, they had very few breakdowns at Woodbine this year. Since they installed the polytrack, the number of breakdowns has increased dramatically. Hopefully they will get the problems straightened out.

That being said, polytrack is working great everywhere else. Woodbine seems to be an isolated case.

With regard to the inner-dirt at Aquedeuct, the inner-dirt track is a weatherized surface that is specifically designed to hold up in extremely cold weather. The inner-dirt track at Aquedeuct holds up fine even if it is freezing cold.
