Yes, and look at the horses who beat Wait A While.....
Do you realize that the top three finishers in the Commonwealth all exited one-mile races on the turf?
Wait A While, had far and away the best dirt form of anyone in her race last Saturday.
Hollywood Park's Cushion track surface isn't much better than the hideious polytrack at KEE. To me, that's not the same horse racing I grew up with and have been a fan of for all my life.
I can understand using the surface in the North-East, at cheaper tracks that are sensative to weather....from what I've seen so far, it doesn't belong anywhere else in my personal opinion.
But hey, the interests of the horseman/commerical breeders always trump what the fans and the betting public want.
