Buying 2yr olds off Polytrack works

[jwkniska]

from what I know of, both Kee's main and training track are poly, so they don't even have a dirt track. Also, with most of the other tracks going to some sort of synthetic in the future, if they don't have them already, I wouldn't expect them to do much with dirt works.

Calder and OBS both roll their tracks so tight on the breeze show days that they are unlike what a horse would run over too.

Yes, Kee's training track went Poly about a year before their main track. The composition is somewhat different... training track looks darker/blacker with rubber bits. Main track has a lot of wire casings, which are lighter and resemble rainbow sprinkles... very odd up close.

AP's is the same way and I agree it's very odd up close to see all the different color rubber bits, etc that are wax coated.

I have also found the odd chunk of sneaker - literally the bottom of a Nike, you could still see the logo.

get use to it OBS is closing there track down in the next few weeks to install a sythetic surface it will be finished by mid Novemeber. So next year all there sales will be held over a Synthetic surface and they sale somewhere between 2 to 3,000 horses per year at there 2 year old in training sales.
