Its simply not an all weather track Jim.

Im not debating what the lady from Woodbine said, I hold it in the same regard as what TWP says. The track just has a few kinks. A few kinks is an understatement.

Champ, I thought this was a forum where we could talk about racing

It is a forum where one can talk about racing.

Which isn't exactly what's going on here... you're just ranting and raving and, in general, standing on everyone's last nerve.

There are ways to discuss things, and then there's what you do.

I'm still totally miffed by the opinion you seem to hold (and correct me if I'm mistaken) that Turfway's dirt track was better than their Polytrack.

You've been here a couple of days, made seven posts, and are already telling long time members " There are ways to discuss things, and then there's what you do. " I'm glad to see you feel so at home here that you already feel confortable saying those things.

You're not the only one here who works in the industry, or has horses, or is entitled to their opinion about polytrack, and all in all I would say we're off to a rocky start.

It's probably just opening day jitters.

Its more of an all-weather track than dirt, much more.
When you say all weather and apply it to the extremes that show up in the upper mid-west, its pretty severe.

You are chosing to simply hold fast to an extreme view that all weather means that the track should have constant characteristics in ALL weather conditions. Its simply impossible. It does handle the weather better than dirt. About that there is simply no doubt.

There is not one simple answer as you are trying to imply.
