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

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.

Keeneland and TWP havent opened the track to the horses the last 3 days. How can Arlington be dumb enough to install this stuff after all these problems. I talked to a trainer today over at TWP he said the horses look like they are coming over in highheels. Shits balled up 2 inches on their feet in the paddock.

Anyone know where I can order 30 yards of poly? I need to set up an iceskating rink for my kids

When i was in Tucson for the Racing and Gaming Symposium, Polytrack had an exhibit, as well as some other Artificial surface companies.

The Polytrack IMO was the worst of it all... it would clump up so easily and was impossible to get off my hands (the wax/sand) without a good scrubbing.

Some other artificial surfaces were much better in my opinion.

What was happening on your hands is happening on their feet. Bad clumping. Many problems
