Turfway doesn't have near the kickback that Woodbine does. It probably has everything to do with the temps. I can remember seeing climps the size of small children being kicked up at Woodbne. The cloud that was kicked up was ridiculous. No one knows how poly in the lungs will effect the horses or the people. 20 - 30 years from now is everyone going to have some form of asbestosis. I know the track isn't made out of asbestos.
The old surface was terrible but you could pick up on some crazy bias action. There were races where everything on the outside would win. 10-1 or 99-1 didn't matter. I think you are still dead meat if you stay on the rail but it isn't as pronounced. I know the guy from Mounaineer absolutely hates poly track. I think he loves that dirt tracks can be massaged to give someone an edge. There are days at Mountaineer that the #1 horse wins 75% of the races. (I know the BC but I thought those were the best horses too) all in all if it is safer then I am for it. No reason to risk life and limb for a dinky Turfway purse
