I wonder if they'll ship over from Asia too with the easy flight to CA.

American racing is dirt speed. You take that out of the equation and we will be in deep trouble come BC time

Tapit may have been mentioned in the same breath as Ghostzapper if poly was down a few years ago

That's being a little presumptious. Nashoba's Key is a virtual lock on cushion. There are plenty of American horses that are benefiting from the artificial stuff.

Against Balance or against the best in Europe? She'll face horses that could run circles around Balance in the BC next year.

I can only speak of today but there were two 'vanned off' horses the 2nd of which was already dead when loaded. NEITHER broke down. The first looked to have either had heat stroke or a real stroke (Carmel My Belle a 10K MdClm) and the other died on the track of a heart attack. Hardly the blame of poly.......Not pretty to see though. We had our 4rth day of plus 90 degrees with humidity off the charts. I'd blame that......

weather right now isn't fit for man or beast. it's miserable out there.


as for track substance--no perfect solution. people are trying to find the best thing--whether poly is it, i don't know.

I'll 2nd that... being out in it all day tomorrow isn't a good thing... and the givaway tomorrow is a cotton fleece. 100+ heat index and they're giving away winter clothes.

They do a giveaway on a day that is already drawing high attendance?

I'll count my lucky stars tomorrow when we have low 80's and sun.
