"Keeneland’s track is an old style Polytrack (with a variety of waxed plastics that have become difficult to find) and I’d say the best track in the world.

"We are currently doing Arlington in Chicago -- that’s an old style Polytrack -- and we’re also doing Del Mar in California. There it is the new style Polytrack (with a plastic fiber manufactured by Collins in Belgium).

"Turfway Park is already complete and that’s new style. Woodbine in Toronto is new style but we are doing remedial work there and upgrading it as a result of a few problems.


Tell me I'm reading this wrong. They admit to having problems with the new style tracks at Woodbine and Turfway. They say they did Keeneland in the old style way and that it's the best track in the world. They say they are doing Arlington in the old style way. Why in the world are they doing Del Mar in the new style?
