Sumitas,
As you know, I'm all for safety.
The full card wouldn't down load, so I ask based only what I say.
Do you think the splits were a bit slow? Does this surface make for slower splits and make the horses work harder?
I only ask because one of mine trained in South Jersey at a private farm. Their training track was pure sand, no base...kinda like running at the beach.
Very safe for the horse but very slow.
