Until you can learn to make your own decisions (without consulting your "friend's brother"), perhaps you should keep your mouth shut about it. Let me know when you've made up your own mind about it.

I do make my own decisions. I was just telling you that he said Aqueduct and Belmont will have tracks with the surfaces soon enough. And saying it doesn't have much to do with making money is naive. Everything in horse racing is about money. Everything.

Don't ever tell me to keep my mouth shut either. I am allowed ot have an opinion.

I think it's about the health of the horse.

Healthy horses run more often and have cheaper vet bills. It is about money. If it was all about health of horses, maybe you should spend some time at the racetrack and explain to me what happens to horses when they are no longer healthy enough to race. If you don't know, perhaps you should just keep your head in the clouds. Horse racing is a business. Nothing else.

Hey genius. If it wasn't for horses breaking down then polytrack and it's competitors wouldn't be considered by track management. Thus, the number one reason for the installation is exactly what I stated. Of course cost cutting was considered, but you act like it's the primary reason and that simply isn't the case.

Like Keeneland is desperately looking at ways to save money.

Keeneland owns 50% of the company that owns polytrack. It is awesome that is saves horses, but it was all about money. The injuries are bad for pr and the amount of races cancelled at places like turfway were a big factor.

Polytrack has been in europe for some time, and like everything else, horse racing is going through it's globalization. They are trying to get the top horses from the world to compete against each other more regularly. Polytrack was the only hope. Turf horses run fine over it.

You don't need to call me names either. If you don't like my friend that doesn't mean I am like that. I stick to horse racing.

In the poly vs. dirt thread that you made your first point was that it reduces the number of breakdowns.

I'm going to leave it at that.

Good day, sir.

As would a deeper, safer cushion and a deeper, safer top layer harrowed deeper. Touche, as you say.

Pillow its about money, and nothing more.
The health is just an excuse. They could have installed a deeper base and harrowed the surface deeper and had the same results years ago. But there wasn't 8-10 million in some truckloads of dirt and the guy harrowing the track deeper. You aren't really that naiive are you?

I already explained myself and i'm correct and you're wrong.
