The track that we saw today at Aqueduct is actually somewhat of a synthetic surface. I don't know the ingredients of the inner-dirt track at Aqueduct, but I know that it is a weatherized surface that can withstand extreme cold. It's not similar to polytrack, but I think it is still considered somewhat of an artificial surface. Some horses don't like the inner-dirt track at all. Others love it. It's a totally different surface from the other surfaces in New York, including the main track at Aqueduct.
