All they need to do is 'prepare' the surface and i'm confident that most of these break downs will stop. It could be ofcourse that the horses that are breaking down are physically weak individuals anyway, we all know the amount of drugs they run on (something which i don't agree with).

I'm just fed up of hearing people slam the Poly for no reason, when it should be the track that is getting slammed for not preparing the surface correctly.

There is another course with Polytrack in Europe now. In Ireland to be specific. They had a trial race day there the other day before their first 'proper' race day next week. All of the trainers and jockeys reported it to be a beautiful and safe surface.

All three of our polytrack surfaces have had next to no problems, so i cannot see why it is having all of the problems over there, unless it isn't being prepared correctly. That surely is the only reason other than the theory of much weaker horses racing in America.
