Although it isn't the same, synthetics plays too close to turf for me. If turf horses can invade traditional main track races like the SA Cap, HGC, and Pacific Classic and win, then why do we need a turf course? It just dilutes the turf fields if anything.

I realize not every horse that runs good on turf runs the same on synthetics (The Usual QT is the first one that comes to mind). But a lot do. It seems redundant to use 2 tracks that a lot of turf horses could interchange between so easily.
