Default Big A should go to polytrack

Another cancelled day at the BIG A. If they had polytrack this would not be a problem today. Another cancelled day or two and the new group that will run NY racing will certainly make this part of their platform.

With 2 tracks it actually is one place it makes sense.

I think Aqueduct should go to a synthetic surface. Just don't bring it anywhere near Saratoga!

They ran yesterday in a goddamn downpour with the track 5" deep in rain and today's the nicest day we've had all month and they're off??

Wave in the polytrack.

Polytrack at all 3 NY tracks plus the training tracks...We could go Cushion at Big A, Tappetta at Belmont, and another brand at the Spa. but it would proly (not poly, LOL) be cheaper to do a package deal for one surface at all 3 plus the training tracks.

Yes thats the answer ruin NY in one swoop! Poly is a cheap gimmick for cheap tracks to try and bring in horses and trainers. NY doesnt need that. It would be a sad day in racing if poly is ever install @ Saratoga

This is a thread about lost revenues at a bankrupt non-profit. Not polytrack. Polytrack is a suggestion on how they could run a better business. On a day like today they could have run on the polytrack if one of their tracks was poly. They could offer grass, dirt and poly all on the same card.
