I wouldn't bet a show bet on a four horse field on the shait myself also. I hate the stuff. If trainers would learn to train the horse within its ability these breakdowns and injuries would stop all by themselves. They'll keep running them even harder on the Poly and then what? The problem isn't the surface it's whats running on it.

There will always be a niche for it. Not all tracks will have this stuff trust me. I can still bet the turf like I do most of the time. I'd like to see someone look at the level of horses being injuried on the dirt. I bet it's 70% that they are mid to bottom level claimers who run 15 or more times a year.

Yeah but if know your car is about to quit on you do you one, drive it even more or baby it around until you can get it fixed. It's not a question of they deserve a better track but let them race within themselves. Too many racing dates also has something to do with it. i wonder how many tracks are going on at the same time now? Horses are being split between L.A. Downs and Lone Star now when it used to just be L.A. Downs. Mnr and the other East Coast tracks now that are getting the good stock thinned out. Why is it that some tracks have lesser breakdowns than others? Look at Toga and Oaklawn compared to Turfway. It's not even close. Oaklawn is run in the winter months and they have an excellant track.

Guys,
I wasn't able to join y'all in 'Toga a few weeks back, becauce I already had a trip planned with a friend to go to Cali this past weekend. We got down to Del Mat yesterday (Sun), and it was really cool. The place is as beautiful as it looks, and for how many people they can hold (25k I think?), the places seems intimate to me. I loved it. We were just there for a few races, and I dumped some $$$, but it was a good time. Why do I get the feeling the DT summer get-together will be there instead of 'Toga next year, when I wanna go to 'Toga lol?
