I agree.

There are obvious benifits to having artifical dirt surfaces, I just wish they would have been installed on training tracks, and at non big leauge racing racetracks.

Besides making the Breeders Cup a waste one day soon, if an artifical dirt surface is installed at one of the three tracks that host a triple crown race, I think the triple crown series will obviously be tainted.

As a bettor, I do love the idea of having a third surface in American racing. It will create some more oppertunities to find an edge over the less serious members of the betting public. However, as a fan of the sport, seeing top class horses running over an artifical dirt surface, is nothing short of an eyesore.
