It's pointless to resist the change to ploy. I'm looking forward to the NY tracks converting as well as all the others.

Slow horseracing is a lot of fun. I enjoy watching good pacers cover the mile in the same time as thoroughbreds.

I have been to Del Mar and prefer the atmosphere to Saratoga too, but that is as a fan. If I was a horse owner I would have all my horses at Saratoga. He shouldn't decide where to keep his horses based on which "atmosphere" he prefers. I wouldn't put a horse on a new surface until atleast one year after it has been installed and the tweaks worked out.
