NYRA Looking at Synthetic Track for Aqueduct

[Pants II]

The more I think about the change the more I support it. Would have some exciting stretch runs on the inner and the field sizes (at first) would be a welcome change.

Plus the ability to train over the surface year round is huge. I like it and I'm not a fan of synthetic. Winter meet in NY is one of the instances where it can work.

The Belmont Training track would/should be changed as well if or if they dont switch

Can't disagree.

Things may change but Woodbine's switch to Tapeta has been outstanding. With the .20 cent minimums it makes it a fun card to play on most days.
