![]() That's what makes no sense.
Plus, changing surfaces (beginnings of meets) has regularly been cited as a contributing factor in clusters of breakdowns. So this is 2nd surface change (3rd if counting KEE) since April for a significant percentage of the horse population.

![]() I think, sadly for racing, Tapeta is coming to a theater near you. What the public will not handle is horses breaking down on the track. They don't break down on Tapeta. I'm not too fond of Tapeta racing. It's boring as hell, there is a randomness about it that is super frustrating to me, and it generally sucks. I hope I am wrong, but it is the simplest solution. I respect the hard work that Alan Forman and others did in NY. I acknowledge the strides made in reducing breakdowns over the last decade. You have horses running every two weeks on Tapeta, and you have horses needing 4-6 weeks on dirt. The whole microfracture thing is interesting, but it is a nonstarter because those same horses have microfractures at TW and PDi and don't break down. Horses are going to get hurt racing. It's a dangerous and brutal game that the public will stomach. They can't handle death.
I hope I am wrong |

Regarding synthetic. Spend less time thinking about your lack of success and more time thinking it is JAS (Just Another Surface). Think of it as a business problem in need of a solution. I've never met you but those I know that have speak highly of you. You can and will figure it out.
