The tracks are safe, and when maintained they can match the biases of any track on any given day. They can play the same as dirt, just without the need to put horses through the pain and suffering of running on a death trap.
....... Just sayin

Okay first off? Regarding your response to Laura?
Stop it. Just stop.
Capisce?
This is not who you are so please don't act like it is...like it's so comfortable for you to be a complete and utter ******* and to someone so nice.
Okay?
Second... the part that is a response to me?
I'll tell you what has happened and all that will happen.
Middle aged white men will defecate mountains of words and will busy themselves congratulating each other on said piles. There will maybe be two or three original thoughts which will become fodder for the voracious, untalented mini-mass of those affected with me-too-ism.
It is the big audition... their chance to be listened to. Hooray!
Do you have a brother? Can I borrow yours cause everyone and their brother is or has yet to write letters to editors, blogs, etc.
Ideas and objectives will be put forth and then the amalgamated thing... this conglomeration... will be pulverized and begin to break itself apart as if a gigantic amoeba.
After all this is said and done the real stuff happens. Enough with the words, it's time for action!
... and you know what that will be, don't you?
Close your eyes and what do you see?
Riiiight because that is the way it is. Nothing gets done. There is handwringing and pontificating... statements are made about what is right and what is wrong BUT, the end result (save Mr. Zayat pulling his horses) is a big, fat nothing.
You Sir are wrong because you assume that the number of fatalities is of the utmost importance here.
While it is an issue I think you are generous in your assumption.
Good for PETA in that they did bring attention to things that need to be looked at. I support them at times, being a part of the campaigns to alleviate the suffering of certain groups of animals... and I also stand against them when they use bullying tactics or are hypocrites (which they are and can be some of the time).
The problem isn't PETA and I will not get into a great debate about synthetic vs dirt as I am much more comfortable reading opinions of people who know much more than I (but your matching biases part was intriguing).
The problem is things need to be done so much so that it is overwhelming and the easy way out aka nada will continue to be the preferred route.
