SO much for Polytrack being Slow

[Round Pen]

Just wondering if Woodbine could have tweaked the track a little bit, I just looked at the works from this morning and they were pretty quick the fastest 1/2 of the morning was 45.4 and the fastest work of the day for 5/8's was 59.2.

They prob will at some point. But no one knows what the results were going to be until they run on the surface.

Wow, the horses must be really loving the stuff... I may have been wrong, and synthetic surfaces may really be the right way to go at some of the tracks in the U.S. I really like those results...

Let's see how Hollywood does...

Round Pen the whole tweaking thing has had my interest and I agree.
All teh wonderful marketing material about this stuff said it was maintenance free and required only harrowing once a day.
Funny that now all of a sudden Turfway had to redo it all and now Woodbines seems to be able to be "tweaked". Funny, the marketing guys said that this was not so, just a uniform surface that required no maintenance.
Remington Park tried some surface awhile back that was like Poly, and it produced wickedly fast times.

Ummm...it is still maintenance free. What the tracks are trying to do is to create the best racing surface there is. You have to test the surface before you know how to make it perfect. This isnt "maintenance", this is making the track better. Anyone can see that.

Are you talking about the original surface at RP?
