Will P1 become the angle for poly?

The sad part is that according to the article they are "tilling" the track to bring up some of the old poly to the surface. The old poly is the same stuff they tried to cover up because it was bad in the first place.

The circus continues . . . what are they going to try next . . . chopping up old mattresses and adding that to the mix? Or maybe used sponges from car washes? Perhaps they could grind up some GI Joes and Barbi Dolls and throw that in too?

It's time these clowns got rid of Martin Collins LLC, put up some money, and hired a corporation with an R&D background to develop an effective artificial track. There are plenty of companys that would take the contract -- Goodyear, DuPont, you name it. Hire a real company with real scientists and engineers -- if poly had been developed correctly in the first place it wouldn't be having these problems today.

I agree with that. I still think that a new well cushioned dirt track would have been just as safe.

Shouldn't you do the research before you spend million of dollars and install a new track?

[The Bid]

No...why would you do the research when Marty Collins and Keeneland said its revolutionary?

Just let them add some more spandex to it, thats all they need to do. They have some peabrains out there staring at it every morning trying to figure out the composition changes it needs. Funny thing is now they want the horsemans opinions on how to fix a track that no research has been done on. I suppose it will be the trainers/horsemen faults when the track fails because they FORCED TWP to take 4 inches of rug and tires off the top.

What a bunch of buffoons, its like a bad skit from saturday night live.

I liken Polytrack to the wheel, television, air travel, electricity, what a great invention it is.

It's like the Three Stooges running around -- except there are FOUR of them!
