Well i can only speak about Santa Anita, I worked horses yesterday morning in the rain and the track was about 2 seconds slower than when its not raining , so that is how I have come to the conclusion that rain =slower here.

Honu, I've missed your posts and am gald to hear from you. If the track is draining great now, why will it be replaced ? I do understand that it will not hold up as is. I certainly support another, porperly installed aw surface. As Joe Harper of Del Mar said in bloodhorse, "I'll take a 70% reduction in fatalities."

Well I think they want to replace it so they can get the crap that the Cushion Track people put down out......I wholeheartdly agree that they should give the Aussie man the job of putting in the new surface.
The CHRB webcast of the meeting they had was very informative if you get a chance watch it.

Sumitas, Im sure California will take your opinion into account when deciding what surface to install. If you are okay with an all weather lets just squash this topic now

Honu, how uneven has the track been. Regards

The track really feels great , has alot of bounce to it , I like it .
The only day it was uneven was that day that they stalled the races to power harrow it and I think that the trackman realized taht he is going to have to harrow more than he thought.

Bid, According to bloodhorse, and I'm sure Honu's link will verify that, the majority of people at the hearing supported all weather. I guess I'm one of the many instead of one of the few obstructionists like yourself. But I admire your courage for standing in the way of an avalanche.
