You know what I don't get? Take GG, for example. Here's the track that probably has the least number of average number of starters per race in the country. Which makes it one of Fat Man's favorites.

YET, towards the end of the recent meet, when they were offering more (and more) turf races, these races had full fields. Hard to convince me that tapeta doesn't play like turf. So, I wonder, why those so eager to run on turf weren't as eager to do so on tapeta? It's not like we're discussing WO here, where, apparently, there is a significant difference between poly and turf.
