Arlington Poly opens Wednesday morning

[JJP]

Scav-

I checked it out last weekend. We'll see how it goes. Personally, I think way too may tracks have rushed into it (i.e. ALL the SoCal tracks) but Turfway needed to do something and Arlington had TONS of negative publicity last year w/the breakdowns. The local media was relentless in pounding them over it.

I do think they will get some more KY shippers as there's going to be a load of horses who ran well over the Poly at Kee and TP so look for bigger field sizes. Arlington has always been one of the more closer-friendly tracks so this will be nothing like the Keeneland transformation.
