Keenland was worried about the handle dropping right after they installed the poly. . . While it may have seemed like they dodged a bullet, I wouldn't be suprised if they start losing alot of business. . .

I don't think they will lose ALOT of business because of the purses. Although, it is going to be nothing but turf horses on the grounds. It's amazing the allowance races on the poly are 80% turf horses. As Andy Beyer said 'they are penalizing horses for being fast'.

Which is in direct conflict of the way they are breeding them. Doesn't seem to make much sense to breed for speed and then put in anti-speed tracks. But then again, this sport loves to do whatever it can to shoot itself in the foot.

NO! they are penalizing horses for being poorly conditioned. Horses on or near the lead have run well (look at Ball Four and Silent Name) but they will wilt if they are lacking in fitness. Or can compensate by being bred to run 12f (like a turf horse).

It's coming to a race track near you soon. It's the future, because the owners want it.

I did pretty good last Fall with the "poly" @ Keeneland, so far this meet...
I'm a sucker for the ten cent supers, been concentrating mostly on those plays...
14 for 76 with winners "on top" for the meet so far...

tried a few at Oaklawn last weekend, and I gotta say, things worked out nice on a couple! You can cover a lot for about $15. I think I was 2 for 5.

I dont get why Keeneland is so slow, Hollywood played like a fair surface last year on the days I played, its like Keeneland is so far to the extreme.
