Here is a question for you. How many horses have broken down so far? None.

Oh REALLY? And you know this how? Apparently up at Woodbine quite a few have, and its the same surface you mope. Ask Noble Stella how she likes it. Game mare doesn't miss a dance in years, runs often and hits hard. She works on poly and bang, shes gone. But I'm sure you have a canned response ready for that huh?

You are so biased it is pointless to argue. Quite a few broke down at Del Mar and Saratoga this summer. I put the quality of horses at Keeneland in the same category, and I have read none have broken down. I didn't even have to read about Saratoga and Del Mar. They broke down in races. Stick to facts. Real ones. Not the ones in Oracleland.

yeah no kidding

My two cents is that ALL horses with very few exceptions enjoy polytrack. Some will perform better on dirt or turf, but the surface really is kind on their joints. I know of no trainers that do not agree.

Round Pen Casse is pure horseman and a straight shooter.

Sumitas: indeed. Poly reduces kickback which is a weapon for frontrunners.

Revolution: Good for you. Oracle's prattle is ubiquitous and often with little merit. Witness his post that the horse entered in todays fourth is a speedball, therefore cannot win..........the race is two turns!

JJp I have found at Ky Downs over the years that after having raced there,
horses are really legged up due to the deep course and those horses have performed well theiir next starts. Poly will be similar. Good cappin. BBB

Well thats just swell. Then again at most major tracks in a 4 day sample you wont get breakdowns either, but there I go using common sense again. Sorry about that, I don't wanna frighten you or anything.

Facts are facts. Fewer horses breakdown on poly. Turfway Park illustrated this and now Keeneland has had nothing but one breakdown on the turf. That is it.

I for one am glad to see horses can come off the pace and win. It is more exciting than watching a horse break to the lead and never look back. That is why turf racing is much better than dirt racing too.

Any comments on Woodbine?

oracle, why sweat it ?...you're just knocking yourself out...go with the flow and the flow is poly. that's the future and there's nothing you or I or anyone on this board can do about it except make your blood pressure go up.

and i wonder why no poly on the Big A in the year ?

Hopefully soon. We then will get plenty of europeans and horses from other parts of the world.
