I dont see this surface playing any diffirent speed wise and form wise than the old one , horses still crack 21 1/4's which is just absurd , but it seems to be what the public and alot of horseman want.

it's a gambler thing.

change is hard. they have a system down and then the parameter's change. there's going to be some blowback.

those opposed to manufactured surfaces will make this the poster child for their cause. it's the end of the world.

doesn't matter that hollypark reduced injuries. i can't use my usual handicapping on these surfaces. it's not worth the learning curve.

I've only played the Malibu so far at Santa Anita. Some of it has to do with a holiday break , but much of it is that I am not too interested in what I saw.
I'm sure I will get back into it. Hard to stay out of Cali in the winter.

Yeah I'm hoping the NCAA and NFL wise up and go to tag instead of contact because players get hurt and some actually die from playing football.

Yeah and then maybe they'll get the hysterical tree hugger fanbase they've always coveted. That would be epic.
